Tastes like KFC!

I'm always on the look out for healthy dinners to cook, this week when I discovered Our Life Uncommon's Baked Fried Chicken recipe on Pinterest, I knew I had to try it, as it boasted to taste like KFC, looked simple to make, and best of all it's a healthy alternative to Deep Fried Chicken! The Chicken, along with some roasted veggies and Notatoe Croquettes {that ended up more like mash Notatoes} were prepared and consumed as part of last nights dinner. The Chicken got a big thumbs up and trumped our usual crumbed chicken recipe {which I never thought would happen}. WIN! Our dinner guests like it so much, they even went home with the recipe. And my husband took the recipe into work this morning to share around.

TASTES LIKE KFC

{Baked Fried Chicken}

 adapted from Our Life Uncommon's Baked Fried Chicken

{    } = Additions I've made when cooking it a second time 

1. Place thawed Chicken {Thigh Fillets halved} in a bowl of milk. 

Let soak for 20-30 min.

2. In a large bowl mix:

1/2 tsp. Salt, 1 T Season All, 3/4 tsp Pepper, 1 c. Flour {W/meal}, 2 tsp. Paprika.
{Add 1T Oregano - It's even better! }

3. Preheat oven to 200.c  Add 1T Olive Oil and 1tsp butter on a cooking tray.

Place tray in pre-heated oven to melt butter
{Omit Butter and replace with 1T Oil - Doesn't effect the taste}

4. Spread melted butter/oil around the tray, make sure that there are no dry spots.

5. Shake excess milk off of chicken and completely coat each piece with the seasoning mix. 

Place each piece of chicken on to the tray.

6. Cook for 40 min or until cooked through.
{Turn Chicken at 20 min mark - for crisper coating}

ENJOY!
