Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken
Description: Sounds delish and a healthier version at that. You can't go wrong with mayo, dijon mustard, ritz crackers and parmesan cheese. This recipe is from the "Joy of Eating" cookbook.
Ingredients:
- 2 whole chickens, cut into serving pieces and sprinkled with pepper, garlic powder and dusted with flour (about 3#)
- 1/4 cup dijon-style mustard
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup Ritz cracker, finely crushed (more as needed)
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons oil
Steps:
- Combine mustard and mayonnaise, mix thoroughly. Coat chicken with mustard mixture. Combine cracker crumbs and parmesan cheese. Sprinkle cracker crumbs lightly over the chicken. Place chicken in one layer in a 12x16 inch baking pan. Bake in a 325 degree oven for 30 minutes. Drizzle oil over the chicken and continue baking for 1 hour or until chicken is tender.
