Oven Fried Chicken Recipe
Fried Chicken without the mess
 Cooking fried chicken in oil can be a mess but this Oven Fried Chicken Recipe is a great way to get fried chicken taste using your oven for cleaner and healthier cooking.
The chicken is breaded with Panko style bread crumbs, (they are Japanese in origin). The chicken is suspended on a flat wire rack to cook so that the bottoms don't get soggy. As you can see from the oven fried chicken picture to the right that the chicken comes out of the oven with a nice crispy coating.
The oil that you add to the bread crumbs will act as a binding agent to help them adhere to the chicken.
