Fried Chicken Oven stlye
( Oven fried chicken pieces with a crispy herb coating)

2/3 cup of all purpose flour
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp each dreid thyme,paprika, and salt
1/4 tsp garlic powder and black pepper
1-1/2 cups of cornflake cereal crushed
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup of buttermilk
3 pounds of skinless chicken thighs and drumsticks ( about 12 pieces)*

Spray a large roasting pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine flour,oregano,thyme,paprika,salt, garlic powder, and pepper. In a seperate bowl or pie plate, combine cornflakes crumbs and cheese(paprika). Pour the buttermilk into another bowl.

Rinse the chicken and pat dry. Working one at a time, dip the chicken peices into the buttermilk and moisten all sides. Place the chicken in a bowl with the flour mixture and turn to coat. Dip in the buttermilk again, then combine with the corn flake mixture. Arrange the chicken in a roasting pan leaving some space between the pieces. This process can get a bit messy, but hang in there.

Bake,uncovered,at 425 degrees for 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear. Serve immediatly.

* I would recommend useing chicken breast in place of thighs and legs. The pieces are not only bigger, but the meat has less fat which may alter the fat contenet in the meal as well as drive the protien content up as well.
