Oven-fried Parmesan Chicken

Oven Fried Parmesan Chicken

Make this early in the day and refrigerate. Remember, if you're packing it along on an outing, keep it on ice in a reliable cooler and eat it as soon as possible.

Serves 4�5

1 cup dry breadcrumbs 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated 1/2 teaspoon each paprika and garlic salt a grind of black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped parsley 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or margarine 1 free-range chicken, about 3 pounds, cut into pieces

In a medium sized bowl, stir together breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic salt, pepper, and parsley. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter. Dip the chicken in melted butter, and then roll in crumb mixture. Place, skin side up, on a lightly oiled or oiled sprayed baking pan, arranging pieces so they don't touch (you can use two pans if needed). Bake at 350 degrees for an hour or until the meat at the thighbone is no longer pink when checked with a knife. To serve cold, remove to a platter, cover loosely with foil, and refrigerate until well chilled.
