Dinner Day Sixteen.

Crispy Oven Fried Chicken
Woman's World Magazine

You will never believe what this low calorie crust is made of!

Ingredients:
6 cups of toasted rice cereal
1/2 cup all purpose flour
2 tsp. dried Italian seasoning
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
4 lbs. chicken pieces (skin on)
1/2 cup bottled creamy Italian salad dressing

Preparation:
Position racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400 degrees.  Line 2 baking sheets with foil and place a rack in each pan; coat with cooking spray.

In a plastic food storage bag, crush cereal until crumbs form.  Add flour, seasoning, salt and cayenne; shake.

In bowl, mix chicken pieces with dressing, turning to coat.  Add chicken to crumb mixture 1 piece at a time; toss to coat.  Place on racks.  Roast until  no longer pink near bone, 45 minutes, switching pans between upper and lower racks halfway through cooking time. 


Enjoy!
