BAKED "FRIED" CHICKEN THIGHS
My husband and I love comfort food like fried chicken. But, in order to keep our diet lower in fat, we make this delicious recipe instead. The chicken comes out crispy on the outside and moist inside. The coating has a little "bite" to it but you can adjust the red pepper to your taste. We both prefer dark meat and when thighs (or legs) go on sale we stock up to make this family favorite. We tried it with chicken breasts but felt it was too dry for our liking. I often serve this chicken with my spicy rice and kale.

- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a 15 1/2" x 10 1/2" baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a bowl combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cornmeal, ground red pepper, garlic powder and Old Bay if using. In another bowl beat the egg white and salt together until foamy.
- Dip each thigh in egg, then in the crumb mixture. Place "skin-side" up on baking sheet. Spray thighs lightly with the olive oil cooking spray.
- Bake 35 to 45 minutes or until juices run clear and the coating is crispy.
