Oven Fried Chicken!!

***LAST DAY TO GET ENTERED FOR THE CHRISTMAS GIVEAWAY***

                     OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

This chicken is crispy, and delicious. It has a great crunch to it and the cayenne pepper adds a nice flavor to it. I don't like 

anything spicy and this isn't. Just full of flavor.  It was just a little dry. I think next time, I will  inject it with Tony Chachere's Creole Style butter marinade. No sugar, no fat.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

garlic powder

onion powder

RECIPE:

2 large egg whites

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon onion powder

1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground sage

1/4 teaspoon dried thyme

114 cups cornflake cereal

1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs

(I use Panko)

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoon all purpose flour

(I use white wholewheat flour)

11/2 pounds skinned chicken pieces such as 2 legs, 2 thinghs and 1 large chicken breast cut in half.

(I use 3 chicken breasts)

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place a wire rack on top of  a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.

In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg whites with the garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, sage, and thyme.

Place cereal in plastic bag and crush thoroughly with a rolling pin. Place in a shallow bowl and mix together with the breadcrumbs, pepper, and salt. 

Place the flour in a third shallow bowl.

To bread the chicken pieces, first dredge the chicken in the flour to coat. Next, dip each piece into the egg white mixture, followed by the crumb mixture, making sure to cover all surfaces.  Repeat until all chicken is coated. 

Place the chicken pieces on the prepared rack and bake for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown.
