NUTTY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN

Nutty Oven-Fried Chicken image

The pecans that give this dish its unique nutty flavor are plentiful in the South, and so is chicken. I love to make and serve this simple oven fried chicken dish because the chicken comes out moist, tasty and crispy. -Diane Hixon, Niceville, Florida
