This Sunday dinner staple is first fried and then baked to a crispy golden brown. Well-seasoned with oregano and sage, this classic is sure to satisfy diners at church potlucks or late-summer picnics, too. I love fixing it for family and friends. -Donna Kuhaupt, Slinger, Wisconsin

I have two suggestions.

1. Add onion powder to the flour mixture.

2. To speed up the cooking process, cook your chicken pieces in a pressure cooker for about 10 minutes and then proceed with the coating and frying! Very fast!

I made a couple substitutions recommended and it had no flavor at all. Chicken was moist but that was about it.

I had to cook it a little longer in the oven then it says but it was worth it. They whole family loved it

I like the idea of using lemon pepper or Old Bay Seasoning in place of the oregano/sage. I'd like to suggest poultry seasoning as an alternative, as well.

Is there any nutrition information on this recipe??

Why not add some lemon pepper seasoning instead of oregano.  Or you could use Old Bay Seasoning -- oregano does have a strong flavor so something a little more mild would be great.  Good luck!

what about thyme or marjoram in place of oregano

I would suggest dill weed or cilantro leaves.
