Crispy Herbed Chicken

Aunt Jemima

½ cup corn meal

¼ cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese

1-1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning

¼ teaspoon garlic salt (optional)

¼ teaspoon pepper

One 2-1/2 to 3-lb. broiler-fryer chicken, cut up, skinned

½ cup skim milk

3 tablespoons butter, melted

Heat oven to 400F. Combine dry ingredients. 

It seemed exciting at first, mostly because I get excited about just about anything involving cornmeal.


Dip chicken into milk; coat with corn meal mixture. Place chicken on rack in 15x10-inch pan; brush with butter. 

(All the chickens at Ken's were like twice the size I needed so I just got three pounds of drumsticks.)


Bake 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and tender.

That's a satisfying image!

My Rating: 3/5 "This had a fun texture, but the flavor was pretty humdrum. (That said, I was hoping my kid would like it since it's mild breaded chicken, but he didn't like how crispy it was with the cornmeal so that was a bust.) I'll just leave this here for you more talented cooks to try to improve."
