I love fried foods. The problem is they don’t feel the same way about me. With all my tummy issues, it is impossible for me to eat anything deep fried. I miss french fries, chicken wings & fried chicken. Luckily, all of these naughty foods can also be baked in lieu of frying.
Oven Baked “Fried” Chicken
Ingredients:
A family size package of drumsticks (about 12 drumsticks)
2 cups of Panko bread crumbs
1 cup of parmesan cheese
1 cup of flour
2 eggs beaten
2 tsp oregano
1 tsp garlic salt
1 tsp paprika
Pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425. Combine the bread crumbs, parmesan, oregano, garlic salt, paprika & pepper in a large bowl. Pat the chicken dry. Dip the chicken in flour & then dip into the egg. Put a 1/4 of the breadcrumb mixture into a large Ziplock bag. Put 3 chicken legs in the bag & shake until well coated. Dispose of the leftover contents of the Ziplock bag. Do this 3 more times until you have coated all of the chicken legs and have used all of the breaded mixture. Place the breaded drumsticks on a foil lined baking sheet & bake for 45 minutes.

My mom totally uses Panko breadcrumbs and they are definitely a healthier alternative. Totally pinned to try, because I too love fried but so not healthy for you int he least. Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thank you, Janine. It is so difficult to try to eat healthy. Everything yummy is so fattening. Lol
This recipe looks and sounds delicious. I am going to have to try this as I am trying to eat healthier. We don’t have fried chicken anyway, but this would be a nice change to our chicken recipes. Thanks for sharing, I have pinned this.
This sounds really yummy! Pinned and added to my menu for next week.
Yay! Thank you and let me know how you like it.
I’m suddenly very hungry! Pinned!
Yum! Thank you for the pin. 🙂
