what's cooking wednesday - oven fried chicken

I heard a chorus of angels sing during dinner tonight. I swear I did. Why? Because I made one meal and everyone ate it and liked it. Abby even asked if she could have the leftovers in her lunch. Awesome, right?




Oven fried chicken

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Take a half a cup or so of flour and put it in a shallow dish. Season it how you like. I used some fresh ground pepper and garlic.

Crack an egg in a separate shallow dish and give it a quick whisk.

In a third shallow dish put about a cup of bread crumbs. Season how you'd like. I had seasoned bread crumbs already in the pantry so I used those.

Now I had boneless skinless thighs thawed, so I used those. Dip in the flour and turn to make sure the chicken is coated. Shake off the excess and dip the chicken into the beaten egg. Shake off the excess and dip into the bread crumbs.

Arrange on a baking sheet and bake at 400 for 30 minutes.

Recipe Notes: This is loosely based on a recipe from the Eat, Shrink and Be Merry cookbook. The chicken was nice and moist and the coating just crunchy enough. Both kids loved it. Win win win in my books. I ate mine with a drizzle of hot sauce because that's how I roll.




What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?

What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page.

*Posts that aren't linked back will be deleted*
*Posts that don't include some sort of a recipe will be deleted*

Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.

I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday
