Oven fried chicken with cranberry sauce is a staple in our home. My family absolutely loves this recipe and it's one we'll be making many more times. It's so simple, and so easy to make, it's a keeper for sure.

wow, wasn't too sure when making the sauce, but it's very tasty. I served with quinoa and broccoli for healthy sides.
