Easy Oven Baked Fried Chicken


Easy Oven Baked Fried Chicken


Easy Oven Baked Fried Chicken
Coats about 1 pound of chicken

This really is simple, yet delicious.  It's a slight variation on my Shake It and Bake It ("Shake N Bake") recipe.

Pre-heat the oven to 400F.  Prepare a baking sheet by spraying it with olive oil cooking spray.  Have one pound of chicken pieces ready.  (I used organic chicken legs.)

In a food processor, combine:

2 cups Utz Potato Sticks
1 teaspoon thyme flakes

Pour it into a bowl and set it aside.

Pour about 1/4 cup olive oil into a bowl and season it with 1/4 teaspoon Adobo seasoning.

Dip chicken pieces first into the oil, then in the potato crumbs.  Place them onto the baking sheet, so they aren't touching each other.  Bake the chicken at 400F for about 35 minutes or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, or a meat thermometer reads 180F.

This chicken is really good served both hot and cold.  It would make a great picnic dish!

Enjoy!
