Southern-Style Oven-Fried Chicken
I call this America’s best-loved oven-fried chicken. The secret is in the breading, which makes the chicken super moist and flavorful, herby and golden brown. —Elaina Morgan, Rickman, Tennessee

It really did taste like it was fried. My entire family liked it. I do see why people say it's a sloppy mess though. I would highly recommend broiling it at the end to crisp it up.
Disappointing. The chicken comes out soggy, this is nothing like fried chicken and doesn't even qualify as oven-fried chicken. It comes out slimy and mushy. The seasoning mix is barely detectable. Overall just really blah. Definitely won't make this again.
this was BEYOND TERRIBLE!....the "egg wash/cracker breading is a disaster" - egg wash cooked skin inner meat was RAW! again; wasted a LB of food -not happy!
This is super!
Love that this is made in the oven instead of deep fried.
This was so juicy! I always have all of these items on hand, and it was fantastic. I love recipes that use a whole chicken because the leftovers are great for sandwiches, salad toppings, or additions to pasta the next day. This is most definitely going to be a regular recipe in my household!
Really easy, juicy chicken recipe. Perfect flavor though I did add salt.
This is a great breading for chicken. I brined the chicken in salt/water and that alleviated the tad of missing salt as other reviewers stated. Definitely a keeper!
Out of this world??! The chicken breasts that I did with this recipe were so succulent my son said,"Mom you out did yourself...fantastic??! Well, needless to say this recipe is a KEEPER??!As side dishes, we had Paula's acorn squash and Green Giant's no sauced peas...What a scrumptious meal. Please enjoy it real soon??.
This was really easy and good.The only thing I changed was I didn't add cumin and since I used chicken breasts I baked it a little longer.Will probably make again with thighs and legs.
