Fried Chicken is
not something everyone can indulge in, because of the high-fat content, but this
oven baked version might just help satisfy those cravings.
Ingredients:
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
4 (6-ounce) skinned chicken breast halves
8 (4-ounce) chicken drumsticks, skinned
1/4 cup honey

3/4 tsp. paprika
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/4 c. finely crushed cornflakes (about 4 cups uncrushed cereal)
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans
Cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400º.
2. Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over chicken; set aside. Combine honey,
mustard, paprika, and garlic powder in a small bowl; stir well. Combine
cornflakes and pecans in a shallow dish; stir well. Brush both sides of chicken
with honey mixture; dredge in cornflake mixture.
