Oven-Fried Italian Chicken image

I love fried chicken but I really don't like the mess I make when doing so. This oven-fried chicken is very good and very easy. Not to mention, I don't make as much of a mess in the kitchen. This reminds me of a certain chicken chains Original recipe because it isn't extra crispy.
