Oven-Baked Breaded Chicken

This is a breading recipe I concocted a while back. It is similar to “Shake ‘n’ Bake” style chicken but much better.  This tastes just as good as deep-fried, if not better. In the last 5 minutes of cooking time, I drizzle a spoonful of the drippings over the chicken pieces to crisp it up a bit.

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup olive oil

3/4 cup GF breadcrumbs

3/4 cup Romano or Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon seasoned salt

1 teaspoon oregano

1/2 teaspoon pepper

4-6 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (depending on size)

DIRECTIONS

Drizzle chicken pieces with oil and rub into each piece.

Combine remaining ingredients, except for chicken, in a plastic bag.

Place chicken pieces in breading bag and toss to coat.

Place on a foil lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350°F for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until cooked.
