Crispy Baked Cornmeal Chicken

Written By: kittencal on January 9, 2010 No Comment

For the best results bake the chicken pieces on a rack, I use my cookie cooling rack for this…

There is enough seasoning for one whole chicken cut into pieces or 8-9 chicken thighs, I have left the melted butter as optional, if you should decide to use it do not use too much or it will create a soggy crust, I put my melted butter in a salt shaker then lightly shake it onto the coated chicken…

For even more heat add in hot sauce to the egg/milk mixture… this will not be as good if using skinless chicken breasts

Yield 4

Ingredients:

1 whole (3-1/2 pound) fryer chicken, cut into pieces OR 8 chicken chicken thighs

1 large egg, slightly beaten

1/2 cup milk

3/4 cup all-purpose flour, divided

1/2 cup cornmeal

2 teaspoons seasoned salt

1 tablespoon garlic powder (garlic lovers increase to 1-1/2 or 2 tablespoons)

1-1/2 teaspoons onion powder

1-1/2 teaspoons mild chili powder

1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (can use more)

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or adjust to taste (I like lots!)

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano (rubbed between fingers to release the flavors)

melted butter (optional)

Instructions:—————————————-

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Set oven rack to lowest position.

Spray a rack with cooking spray then place into a greased baking sheet (for easy clean us line the baking sheet with foil).

Place about 1/4 to 1/3 cup flour into a shallow bowl.

In another shallow bowl whisk together egg with milk.

In a third shallow bowl combine 1/2 cup flour with cornmeal and next 7 spices.

You should have 3 separate bowls.

Coat the chicken firstly in flour, then dip into the egg/milk mixture allowing any excess to drip off, lastly coat in the cornmeal mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the chicken.

Place each piece skin side up onto the rack.

If desired drizzle a very small amount of melted butter over the top of each piece of chicken (this is only optional and do not use too much for the coating will be soggy).

Bake uncovered for about 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
