Fried Chicken... Yes, I use the oven too

2 pounds chicken Cut to preferred size

Flour Mixture (do NOT mix with egg wash!)
2 cups corn flakes (finely crushed using food processor or other fancy schmancy kitchen equipment..yes a rolling pin will work but for the love of bob put the stuff in a bag first or the mess you will make, oy!!!)
Put on it's own plate.
1 cup flour
EGG WASH This also gets its own plate or bowl...whichever works best for you.
1 egg
1/4 c. milk
1 t. salt or for more pizazz SPIKE or other seasoning salt
1/4 t. pepper
1 t. paprika

Mix the above five ingredients together.


Pick up a piece of chicken and put in the flour mixture, then the egg wash, and then again in the flour. Let sit a couple minutes to set and then after a couple minutes dip back in the flour if absorbed.

Put about 1/2 c. oil in frying pan. Apply heat.

When nice and hot, add some chicken pieces. Fry only a minute on each side.

Turn stove on 350. As chicken is finished frying, place on cookie sheet. Cook the chicken until juices run clear..small pieces about 12 minutes and large pieces up to 30 minutes, depending on size. The quick fry gives the feel of fried chicken but the stove removes excess oil.

This goes great with curry chicken and rice.
