Spicy Oven Fried Chicken

Spicy Oven Fried Chicken tastes like KFC, but without the fat! Crunchy too with no need to fry.

Love the taste of KFC?  You’ll love this then!  This chicken is just as good–if not better!

One thing is, the fat is definitely cut down because this is baked, not fried.  There’s no extra fat or oils used as there are in some other “oven fried” chicken recipes.

Lower fat, great taste

Of course this chicken may be conventionally fried.  However, a couple of substitutions (besides fat for the deep frying) are in order.  First, substitute about 2 cups of flour or baking mix, such as Bisquick, for the corn flake crumbs.  Instead of rinsing and shaking off the water, pat the chicken dry, beat 2 eggs with 1 tbs water and dip the chicken in the egg before coating.

You can also use the flour method if you follow the basic directions for baking my Ranch Chicken.

The baking dish is Gingham Gardens from Temp-tations by Tara in red.  This set is available in this color and several others on QVC.com.

Crunch and yummy

The chicken may also be prepared skinless.  The crumbs should hold with just shaking off the excess water, but it may be a good idea to dip in beaten egg and coat with crumbs. Either way, great tasting.
