Oven-Fried Parmesan Chicken image

My family really liked this chicken and it was so easy to make. When I made it I did not use 5 pounds of chicken I used about 2 1/2 pounds. I got this recipe from Everyday Health.

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup frozen fat-free liquid egg product, thawed
1/4 cup nonfat milk
3/4 cup parmesan cheese
3/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
5 lbs chicken thighs or 5 lbs chicken drumsticks

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F Grease two large shallow baking pans; set aside. In a small bowl, combine egg product and milk. In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, paprika, and pepper.
  • Dip chicken pieces into egg product mixture; coat with crumb mixture. Arrange chicken pieces in prepared baking pans, making sure pieces don't touch. Drizzle chicken pieces with melted butter.
  • Bake for 45 to 55 minutes or until chicken is tender and no longer pink (170°F for breasts; 180°F for thighs and drumsticks). Do not turn chicken pieces during baking.
