Linda's Fake and Bake Chicken

This is one of my most requested recipes. It is the best 'non-fried' chicken recipe that I've tasted. Chicken is battered and breaded, but then baked instead of fried.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 2 tablespoons butter, melted
• ¾ cup evaporated milk
• ¼ cup lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon garlic powder
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
• cooking spray
• 1 cup cornflake crumbs
• 4 pounds bone-in chicken pieces, with skin

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a shallow baking dish with cooking spray.

Step 2

In one bowl, stir together the cornflake crumbs, bread crumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. In another bowl, whisk together the evaporated milk, egg, lemon juice and butter using a fork.

Step 3

Dip the chicken pieces in flour, and shake off the excess. Dip into the milk batter, then into the crumb mixture. Place pieces in a single layer in the greased baking dish. Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray.

Step 4

Bake uncovered for 1 hour in the preheated oven, until nicely browned, and juices run clear.
