Oven-Fried Chicken

This is what we're having for dinner tonight and boy does it smell good!

1 Beaten Egg

3 Tbls. Milk

1 Cup Italian Bread Crumbs (or crushed saltine crackers or rich round crackers with 1/2 tsp. of dried thyme, 1/2 tsp. of paprika and 1/8 tsp. of black pepper.)

Chicken Pieces with bone in (breast halves, thighs, and/or drumsticks)

2 Tbls. or more of melted butter

1. In a small bowl combine egg and milk. Put the bread crumbs (or cracker mixture) in another bowl. Skin chicken. Dip chicken pieces, 1 at a time, into egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. (I've also tried putting the bread crumbs in a ziploc bag and shaking the chicken to cover, both ways work.)

2. In a greased baking pan (big enough to fit chicken pieces) arrange chicken, bone side down. Drizzle chicken with butter.

3. Bake, uncovered, at 375 for 45 to 60 minutes or until chicken pieces are no longer pink. Do not turn chicken while baking.

Enjoy!
