Unfried Chicken
This one came from "In Rosie's Kitchen"--the cookbook that Oprah made famous. It's a healthier way to prepare chicken than deep-fat frying could ever be--and it actually tastes wonderful!!
6 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
6 chicken thighs, skin removed
2 cups Italian breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 Tbsp. dried parsley
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
skim milk for soaking chicken
Soak the chicken pieces in very cold skim milk in the refrigerator, for at least 15 minutes. Combine all dry ingredients in a large plate or pie plate. Coat each piece of chicken with the crumb mixture, making sure to cover all areas of the chicken. Place chicken on a jelly roll pan that has been sprayed with Pam or wiped with olive oil. Preheat your oven to 375º F. and bake your chicken for approximately 45 minutes for breast and 60 minutes for thighs. Serve at room temperature.
