Recipe Introduction

There is no ideal blood pressure reading, but there is a range of normal readings. Usually, a reading less than 140 over 90 means you don't need to worry. If either or both numbers are equal to or greater than 140 over 90 for an extended period of time, you have high blood pressure. This can be dangerous because it causes the heart to work extra hard. Check yours today!

ROD 5/10/2006 Blood Pressure Day HEART HEALTHY CRISPY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN




HEART HEALTHY CRISPY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN


For less fat, bake chicken in the oven instead of frying.

½ cup skim milk or buttermilk
1 tsp poultry seasoning
1 cup cornflakes, crumbled
1½ Tbsps onion powder
1 ½ Tbsps garlic powder
2 tsps black pepper
2 tsps dried hot pepper, crushed
1 tsp ginger, ground
8 pieces chicken, skinless (4 breasts, 4 drumsticks)
1 tsp vegetable oil (use to grease baking pan)
a few shakes paprika





Recipe

Preheat oven to 350° F.
Add 1/2 teaspoon of poultry seasoning to milk.
Combine all other spices with cornflake crumbs and place in a plastic bag.
Wash chicken and pat dry. Dip chicken into milk, shake to remove excess,
then quickly shake in bag with seasoning and crumbs.
Refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove from refrigerator and sprinkle lightly with paprika for color.
. Evenly space chicken on greased baking pan.
Cover with aluminum foil and bake 40 minutes. Remove foil and continue
baking for an additional 30 to 40 minutes or until the meat can be easily
pulled away from the bone with a fork. The drumsticks may require less
baking time than the breasts. Crumbs will form a crispy “skin.” (Do not
turn chicken during baking.)
Makes 6 servings--Serving size: 1/2 breast or 2 small drumsticks
