This simple recipe uses crushed crisp cereal to replicate the crunch of fried chicken; but it's baked in the oven.
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour, 15 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 (3 lb.) cut up broiler/fryer chickens
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/4 tsp. pepper
- 9 cups corn flakes cereal, crushed to 3 cups
- 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1-1/2 tsp. paprika
- 1 cup butter, melted
Preparation:
Heat oven to 350 degrees. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper. Mix cereal, parsley and paprika. Dip chicken into melted butter, then roll in cereal mixture to coat. Place chicken, skin side up, into 2 ungreased 15x10" jelly roll pans. Discard any remaining butter and cereal mixture.
Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours or until chicken is no longer pink at the bone, and juices run clear when pricked with a fork.
To pack on a picnic, remove chicken from pans. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours but no longer than 24 hours. Pack into cooler with plenty of ice packs. Serves 12
