PREHEAT oven to 400° F. Coat 13 x 9-inch baking dish with butter.

COMBINE eggs and milk in medium bowl. Combine corn meal, flour, paprika and garlic powder in medium bowl. Dip chicken pieces into egg mixture, coating both sides, then into corn meal mixture. Place in prepared baking dish.

BAKE , brushing chicken once during baking with juices from pan, for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink near bone. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.


FOR OVEN-FRIED FISH:
SUBSTITUTE 2 lbs. fresh or frozen (thawed) white fish fillets for chicken. Prepare as above. Place skin-side down in baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Season with salt and ground black pepper to taste.



Baked Potato Sticks


4 to 6 Idaho baking potatoes
2/3 cup butter melted

Select 4 very large or 6 medium size potatoes. Scrub well and cut each potato in to 6 or 8 wedges, lengthwise. Arrange on a baking sheet. Combine melted butter and soy sauce and brush over potatoes. In small bowl, combine corn flake crumbs with sesame seeds. Sprinkle over potatoes. Bake in preheated 400F oven for 35 minutes or until crisp and lightly browned.

or


Baked Potato Wedges

3-4 medium potatoes
2-3 tablespoons of melted butter

Salt & pepper
1 tsp. basil

I make a oven fried chicken too. Mine uses Bisquick, salt, pepper, and paprika. Coat your chicken in that mixture and then bake in a shallow pan (with about 2 T melted butter) for about 20 minutes at 400, then flip it over and bake another 15 minutes.

It's always been a big hit around here, especially when we're craving fried chicken and I don't fry.

That's what old cooks/bakers have in their files and stored in their heads - tons of recipes!!! I love to cook and bake and experiment! I want to find someone who would like all my recipes, techniques, notes, etc. that I have learned throughout the years so that I could pass it all on. I'd have them in my kitchen cooking and baling all day long! LOL

I often do potatoes in a pan on the stove with a bit of olive oil (cut into strips, similar to french fries). Not a bad substitute for french fries and not too unhealthy either. When we have burgers I usually do potatoes that way to go along with it.

I love fried stuff! looks like everyone seems to like anything that's not healthy for them. However, this oven baked version looks tempting and healthy at the same time. I have to try this soon
