Oooh! You're making my mouth water! LOL Where do you come up with so many good recipes mama mangia? I will definately be trying this one next time my hubby comes home.

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

You're very welcomed! We'd get along just fine - I love chicken and potatoes! and your stomach is also welcomed - 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
