FEE FIE FAUX FRIED CHICKEN

Fee Fie Faux Fried Chicken image

I purchased the bone in Chicken Parts for $0.79 per pound, and got the boneless skinless chicken parts for just over $2.00 per package, so today my husband suggested oven Baked Faux fried Chicken, so this is what I created and took pictures as I went along to make it easier to follow. You may not want to cook the amount I used, but if you have left over seasoning you can store it in the freezer and save it for next time, provided you did not dip the chicken into the bag, and used a platter as suggested. This chicken is very moist tasty & very flavorful, plus it crispy on the outside.
