OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN

PREHEAT OVEN 450◦

Ingredients:

1 ¼ cups Italian-seasoned bread crumbs

¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated

½ cup mayonnaise (can be fat-free)

¼ teaspoon salt (can eliminate)

½ teaspoon poultry seasoning

¼ teaspoon red pepper

¼ teaspoon celery salt

1/8 teaspoon black pepper

1 TABLESPOON dehydrated onions (*optional)

4 to 8 skinned and boned chicken breast halves

Step 1

On a plate, stir together breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Step 2

On a second plate, add mayonnaise. Add spices to the mayonnaise and mix together.

Step 3

Grease 13 x 9 baking dish with vegetable spray, set aside.

Step 4

Dip chicken breast into the mayonnaise mixture, then dredge the mayonnaise coated chicken breast in the bread crumb mixture, then place in greased baking dish. Repeat until all chicken is done.

NOTE: do not over coat the chicken in bread crumb mixture; over coating does not make the chicken taste good. Lightly coat the chicken with the bread crumb mixture. Can shake chicken very slightly after dipping into bread crumb mixture... but lightly coat entire chicken breast evenly.

Step 5

Sprinkle dehydrated onions over prepared chicken breasts. Can use more or less of the 1 tablespoon of the dehydrated onions.

NOTE: Though it is optional to use dehydrated onions, it does enhance the flavor of the southern oven-fried chicken.

Step 6

Bake @ 450◦ for 20 minutes or until chicken is done, golden on top; onions may be blackened

 
Love the dehydrated onions idea! I wonder why this rec uses mayo as a base coat, rather than eggs?

 
Healthier, no egg yolks, and bread crumbs adhere better, and tastes better

 
I'm a big fan of any oven-fried chicken; must try this soon. ...

I love how oven-fried chicken gets that dark golden color! I usually drizzle the chicken with olive oil and throw a few fresh herbs around it before it goes in the oven.
And the Parmesan in this kind of recipe is great. We go through an alarming amount of Parmesan in a week! smileys/wink.gif
