Oven Fried Chicken



This "fried" chicken is moist and crispy and loaded with flavor, yet won't leave you feeling guilty after you eat it. Putting the chicken pieces on a rack above foiled baking sheets is key to getting the chicken crispy. If you're looking to eat healthy yet not sacrifice flavor, make this recipe, your family will love you for it!
