Linda's Fake and Bake Chicken
Description
This is one of my most requested recipes. It is the best 'non-fried' chicken recipe that I've tasted. Chicken is battered and breaded, but then baked instead of fried.
Ingredients
•
1 cup cornflake crumbs
•
1/2 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
•
2 teaspoons salt
•
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
•
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
•
1/2 teaspoon paprika
•
3/4 cup evaporated milk
•
1 egg
•
1/4 cup lemon juice
•
2 tablespoons butter, melted
•
4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, with skin
•
1 cup all-purpose flour
•
cooking spray
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish with cooking spray.
2
In one bowl, stir together the cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, egg, lemon juice and butter using a fork.
3
Dip the chicken pieces in flour, and shake off the excess. Dip into the milk batter, then into the crumb mixture. Place pieces in a single layer in the greased baking dish. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray.
4
Bake uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until nicely browned, and juices run clear.
