Oven Fried Chicken

Everyone has those days where they don't mind cooking, but they don't want to the big mess that follows.
This is one of those meals that is super low in the mess factor, plus it's quick and easy too.

 Now, I usually don't make just chicken legs, but they had a great deal on them at the grocery store, and my kids love them.
So, please use any chicken pieces you desire.


Ingredients:
  • 12 chicken legs (or other pieces, trimmed of fat)
  • 1 cup Prego Italian Bread Crumbs
  • 1 tsp. Paprika
  • 1/3 cup Flour
  • 1/2 tsp. Garlic Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1-2 Tbsp. Olive Oil (depending on your amount of chicken)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.
To minimize mess, pour your olive oil into a freezer bag.
Add your chicken pieces, seal, and shake around until all the chicken is covered.
Set bag aside.



In a large mixing bowl, add bread crumbs, paprika, flour, garlic salt, and pepper.
Stir until completely blended.
Foil a 9x13 pan (for easy clean up).
****I did use non stick just in case*******


Take one chicken at a time and drench it with the mixture in your bowl. Set on the pan, repeat until done.
Place in oven and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165 . I suggest rotating them once.








There you go!
Super easy, not very messy, and gives you time to accomplish other things while it's cooking.
Oh plus.... it's not all super greasy.
