Crsipy Crusty Baked Chicken

I found this recipe in my Home Cooking Magazine and decided to give it shot for tonight’s dinner. I just took it out of the oven and I’m still undecided as to how happy I am about the turn out. It is very juicy and very flavorful. I’m letting it rest and maybe when its time for dinner I’ll feel better about the dish. I did make a few minor adjustments. I added a 1/4 cup of italian seasoned bread crumb to the mix.

What you’ll need:

1 egg lightly beaten

2 tablespoons milk

1 cup instant potato flakes

1 teaspoon garlic salt

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1(4 -5 pound) chicken, cut up ( I used a half of a chicken)

1/4 cup butter or margarine, melted

Parsley flakes ( I used 2 tablespoon and I added mine to the mix)

Instructions :

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine egg and milk in a shallow dish.
  3. Mix Potato flakes, garlic salt and cheese in a bowl
  4. Dip chicken in egg mixture; coat with potato flakes mixture
  5. Melt butter and pour in a 13 x 19 inch baking pan or dish, then arrange chicken in pan.
  6. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken tests done. Remove chicken from baking pan and place same side up on a heated platter.
  7. Sprinkle parsley over top of  chicken.

Serves 4

PLEASE NOTE:I started baking the chicken at 350 then I lowered the oven to  325 and I baked it an additional 45 minutes. After 50 minutes it wasn’t golden enough for me. So my total cooking time was an 1 hr and 45 minutes. I think you should take into account the oven that you are using. It takes a few additional minutes to bake anything in my oven.
