I’ve fixed this dish many times for company, and I’ve never had anyone fail to ask for the recipe. The leftovers—if there are any—are very good heated up in the microwave.

This was delicious, moist and very flavorful! I didn't use the melted butter and it turned out great. I'll definitely make this again.

FABULOUS! Best home made fried chicken recipe ever and it's not even fried! I skipped the butter and left the skins on the chicken, but would use the butter if I deskinned the chicken first. Pam is a great idea-I'll try that next time I make it as I will be making it many many times to come!

Fried chicken is my favorite food, and I never would have thought I'd find a healthier baked recipe I'd like. This method is EXCELLENT. I used bone-in chicken breasts with the skin removed, and cooked it on a rack inside a baking pan to help with crispiness all over. I was afraid removing the skin would make it less juicy, but it was still juicy and delicious. Also, I used Pam instead of butter, and it was still super crispy. The combo of french fried onions and parm gives this such great flavor. Best chicken recipe ever!!

Made this with all chicken legs without the skin delicious! Also skipped the butter just sprayed with butter flavor Pam. The coating was great both hot and cold the next day did not get soggy like most. Will be cooking this for others with pride.
