Anyone have a good recipe for oven-fried chicken which yields a very crisp crust?

CI uses melba toast crumbs as a coating and it comes out not only crisp...
...but tooth-breaking hard. I wasn't that impressed, as I was not what I consider pleasant.
I don't have any other recipe for oven-fried, unfortunately. I had high hopes for the CI recipe, and didn't like it.

Yes. Try this
I created this many years ago and it is still a favorite in my house. Sometimes, instead of coating the chicken with butter before putting the crust mixture on, I use Caesar dressing or salsa. Very tasty. I still drizzle butter at the end because there needs to be some fat for it to brown.
POTATO BAKED CHICKEN (3-4 servings)
3 to 3-1/2 lb. cut-up pieces of chicken
4 T melted butter
1 C dry potato flakes
1/2 C Parmesan cheese
1 T garlic powder
1 T thyme
1 T paprika
1 T pepper
Dip chicken in butter and roll in combination of the rest of the ingredients (or put all dry ingredients together in a bag and shake the chicken in it). Place on jelly roll pan (on a rack if you like it crispy all around), drizzle with the rest of the butter and bake 30-40 minutes or until golden in a 350° oven.

My mom rolls chicken in cornflake crumbs with a few herbs added.
You don't look at it and think, "Oh, that looks exactly like fried chicken," but it is delicious. She tops it with pats of butter.
I've always thought you could do the schnitzel method with similar success: milk, egg, panko (repeat), drizzle with butter, bake.

I would not want to recreate it. Some of the ingredients are probably not that healthy
However, it is my "go to" chicken dish when I want something special and so very tasty. We don't make it often, maybe every 3 months or so in the winter and fall months. I have never found a better product for a fried chicken simulation in my 50 years of cooking. We really do love this. Plus, the little bits and pieces that fall on the bottom of the cooking tray, get so crispy and full of flavor.....on my!
