Golden Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken
From actress and author Faith Ford
May 4, 2004

In her new cookbook, Cooking With Faith, comic actress Faith Ford shares her down-home cooking recipes, southern classics that have been passed down from one generation of her family to the next.

Ingredients

1 chicken (3 1/2 pounds), cut into 10 pieces (breast quartered), skin removed

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons Faith's Special Seasoning or Cajun seasoning.

1 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon grated lemon zest

Olive oil, for brushing or spraying

1 1/2 cups crushed cornflakes

1 cup plain dried bread crumbs

Directions

1. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry with paper towels. Rub the 2 tablespoons Faith's seasoning onto the chicken and place it in a marinating dish. Whisk together the buttermilk, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Pour the mixture over the chicken, cover the dish, and let marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or overnight.

2. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Coat a large baking pan with olive oil.

3. In a wide, shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, bread crumbs, and the 2 teaspoons of Faith's seasoning. Roll each piece of chicken in the crumbs, pressing them onto the chicken to make sure the coating adheres well.

4. Place the chicken in the prepared baking pan, leaving a small space between each piece. Spray or drizzle the chicken pieces lightly in olive oil and bake for 20 minutes. Rotate the pan and spray or drizzle again with olive oil. Bake for 20 more minutes, until the juices run clear. Serve hot.

Serves 4 to 5
