Unfried Chicken So Good You'll Slap Ya Mama!

We all want to eat healthy, but we don't want to give up the delicious taste of fried chicken. Well, honey, have I got a recipe for you! This is the best recipe for the the easiest, tastiest, "Unfried" Chicken you'll ever taste. Although this recipe calls for chicken, you can use this breading on porkchops too. Ever since I made my first batch of this and shared it with my family at our Holiday meal, they have been the most requested item from friends and family. Ummm...

Ingredients

Several Pounds of Chicken parts (drumsticks, thighs, wings, or breasts)

Italian Bread Crumbs, 1 cup

Flour, 1 cup

garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon

italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon

black pepper, 1/8 teaspoon

Old Bay seasoning, 1/4 teaspoon

Crushed or Chopped Thyme, 1/4 teaspoon

Zattarains cayenne pepper, 1 pinch

Creole seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon

Cooking Spray

Preparation

1. Rinse and soak chicken pieces in ice-cold water for about 20 minutes. (This is the key to the breading sticking to the chicken.)
2. While chicken soaks, heat oven to 350 and make breading. To make, mix the bread crums, flour, and all seasonings together in a large bowl. Mix well.
3. Coat cookie sheet or baking pan with 3 sprays of cooking spray.
4. Take each piece of chicken and place in breading, shake, making sure chicken is fully coated. Place each piece onto cookie sheet or pan.
5. Once you get all chicken coated and onto the pan, spray lightly with cooking spray.
6. Place in oven uncovered and cook until juices come out clear, turning halfway through cooking time.
7. Enjoy!

*If you make chicken wings, dash on some FRANK'S Red Hot Hot Sauce and serve with blue cheese or ranch dressing. It's better than any restaurant wings you'll ever taste!*
