Nutty Oven-Fried Chicken

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 10 min. Bake: 1 hour YIELD: 6 servings.
The pecans that give this dish its unique nutty flavor are plentiful in the South, and so is chicken. I love to make and serve this simple oven fried chicken dish because the chicken comes out moist, tasty and crispy. —Diane Hixon, Niceville, Florida
