This recipe is just delicious. It comes out crispy every time and it’s so much lower in fat than deep-fried. I make it often in my house and it’s always a winner!

This recipe is probably one of the recipes I make the most for my family out of all my recipes.  I make it with most with Rice Pilaf, Roasted Broccoli, or Roasted Brussels Sprouts. It’s so quick, easy, and unbelievably good, that my family asks for it on a regular basis.

I probably make this chicken 3 or 4 times a month and for a food blogger that has to constantly cook new dishes – that’s a lot!

Chicken Buying Guide

When buying chicken, choose chicken with pink colored meat.  Chicken freshness is easily visible as it fades with time. It’s always best to avoid buying chicken with any signs of discoloration or odor.

For The Breading

For the breading, I use a layer of flour and a layer of breadcrumbs that I season with oregano, garlic powder, paprika Parmasean Cheese, salt, and pepper. When I made the video, I used plain breadcrumbs, but I shot it using panko for the photos to show that they both work really well.

You can alter the recipe in any way that suits you and your family.  Make it your own – use pre-seasoned breadcrumbs or any herbs and spices you want.    If you like a little kick, add some cayenne pepper.  Don’t like Parmesan cheese?  Take it out – the choice is yours!

How to make Oven-Fried Chicken

Put the bread crumbs in a bowl with the oregano, garlic powder, paprika, Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper.

Mix it together and add it to a large food storage bag.

Beat the eggs with the milk and salt and pepper in a bowl and add the flour to a dish and season with salt and pepper.  Line them up next to each other to easily coat the chicken in each.

Dredge the chicken piece by piece in the flour.

Followed by the egg.

Then add it to the bag with the bread crumbs (I usually add three pieces to the bag at a time).  Seal the bag well, and shake the bag to coat.

Place on a baking sheet (I line mine with nonstick foil). and spray with low-fat cooking spray.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Check to see if the chicken has browned. If needed, spray with more cooking spray and bake for another 15 minutes. Remove from oven and rest on paper towels. Enjoy!
