You would expect Southern fried chicken to be served with lots of calories and fat. Not our version, though-we baked the chicken instead of frying it, and we gave it a crisp, greaseless crust made from crushed cornflakes and chopped pecans. Ingredients:
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
4 (6-ounce) skinned chicken breast halves |
8 (4-ounce) chicken drumsticks, skinned |
1/4 cup honey |
2 tablespoons dijon mustard |
3/4 teaspoon paprika |
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 1/4 cups finely crushed cornflakes (about 4 cups uncrushed cereal) |
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°.
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken; set aside. Combine honey, mustard, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl; stir well. Combine cornflakes and pecans in a shallow dish; stir well. Brush both sides of chicken with honey mixture; dredge in cornflake mixture.
3. Place chicken pieces on a large baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray, and bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until done.
