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.

Used all drumsticks without skin... delicious! Also didn't drizzle with butter just sprayed well with Pam Butter Spray. Even cold the coating stayed on great not soggy like most other recipes. Definitely a keeper!

I made this for dinner last night and everyone loved it. Even my picky eater ate it all and was lavishing me with compliments. This one is getting saved and recommended to everyone. Also, I'm not going to change a single thing when I make it!

the recipe worked fine, but wasn't as flavorful as I had hoped.

My family loved this chicken. The coating was very flavorful and the chicken is moist. Next time I think we will remove the skin so that none of the tasty coating is wasted. But I recommend using the bone in chicken because it doesn't dry out at all.

The french-fried onions are great in the breading. I have tried several baked chicken recipes and this one is always my go to. Family/friends have requested the recipe.

This was delicious - healthier than frying but losing none of the flavor. I cooked the chicken on my pizza stone, which I've found helps it stay moist.
