Ingredients and Preparation
Ingredients
Measures
Skim milk or buttermilk
½ cup
Poultry seasoning
1 teaspoon
Cornflakes, crumbled
1 cup
Onion powder
1½ tablespoons
Garlic powder
1½ tablespoons
Black pepper
2 teaspoons
Dried hot pepper, crushed
2 teaspoons
Ginger, ground
1 teaspoon
Chicken, skinless (4 breasts, 4 drumsticks)
8 pieces
Paprika
A few shakes
Vegetable oil (use to grease baking pan)
1 teaspoon
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Add ½ teaspoon of poultry seasoning to milk.
- Combine all other spices with cornflake crumbs and place in a plastic bag.
- Wash chicken and pat dry. Dip chicken into milk, shake then quickly shake in bag with seasoning and crumbs.
- Refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Remove from refrigerator and sprinkle lightly with paprika for color.
- Evenly space chicken on greased baking pan.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for an additional 30-40 minutes or until the meat can be easily pulled away from the bone with a fork. The drumsticks may require less baking time than the breasts. Crumbs will form a crispy “skin.” (Do not turn chicken during baking.)
