Dinner Last night: Oven Fried Chicken

[2planka]

Tuesdays are my night to cook. Decided on some chicken drumsticks, oven fried. Problem was, I didn't have enough breadcrumbs to do the job.

Didn't have any crackers or corn flakes either, and toasting/crushing bread is an absolute last resort. So I searched the interweb and learned that Parmesan cheese can be used, 1 part cheese to 2 parts breadcrumbs. It was fantastic. I highly recommend trying this.

Really seemed to bring out the flavor of the spices I used.

What exactly is "oven fried" chicken? Sounds like you made roast chicken.

It's a horrendous concontion that's roasted but breaded in a lame attempt to replicate something fried.

Oven fried, as opposed to deep fried or pan fried.

Basically, give bottom of a baking pan a light coating of oil. 375 for 20 minutes, turn, 375 for 20-30 minutes more.

Chicken comes out nice and crispy (not as crispy as deep fried, but much less fatty), and the meat falls off the bone.

Jake just can't cook.

Grumpy today, Jake? Have a cookie.
