Introduction

This is my own blend, spicier than most Shake 'n Bake mix recipes, but not fiery. It calls for 4 chicken thighs (772g). The oil helps the coating to stay on. I often use grams because they are easier to scale. DH insists that I make this at least once a week - and he gets the spiced skin off my chicken thigh. DH eats 2 and I eat one for dinner.

    .5 tsp Granulated Sugar
    .5 tsp Salt
    .5 tsp Onion powder
    2 tsp Garlic powder
    .5 tsp Parsley, dried

    32 serving Canola Oil Cooking Spray - PC (1/2 second spray)

Tips

Remove skin after baking to reduce calories. Heck, it's only 40 calories per thigh.


Directions

* Heat oven to 450 degrees

* For 4 chicken thighs, line a half sheet with parchment paper.

* Mix corn flake crumbs, flour and spices and herbs in a 1-quart zippered plastic bag, and shake.

* Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel, then coat with canola oil cooking spray (or put chicken thighs in 1-quart zipper lock bag with 1/4 cup canola oil).

* Lift out one chicken thigh at a time, let excess oil drain off, then place in coating mix plastic bag. Seal or close tightly and shake until thigh is coated. Place coated thigh skin-side down on parchment paper.

* Repeat until all 4 thighs are on the parchment paper.

*Put chicken in 450F oven on middle rack for 23 minutes.

*Turn chicken over, spread more coating to cover gaps if necessary, return chicken to oven for 22 minutes.

* Remove from pan and let sit on plate 2-5 minutes before serving
(great with broccoli!)
