Oven-Fried Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 c. corn flakes or 1/2 c. fine, dry bread crumbs
1 (2 1/2 to 3 lb.) broiler-fryer chicken, cut up
1/4 c. butter or margarine, melted

Preparation

Heat oven to 375\u00b0.
For the crumb mixture, crush corn flakes finely enough to make 1 cup of crumbs or use 1/2 cup bread crumbs; set aside.
Rinse chicken pieces; pat dry with paper toweling. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Brush each piece with melted butter.
Place crushed corn flakes or bread crumbs on a sheet of waxed paper; roll chicken in crumbs to coat.
Arrange chicken, skin side up and not touching in a shallow baking pan.
Bake in a 375\u00b0 oven for about 50 minutes or until tender.
Do not turn.
(Chicken is done when it is easily pierced with a fork.
Test the thigh or breast at a point near the bone, since these parts require the most cooking time.)
Makes 6 servings.
