Kentucky fried chicken is a dish consisting of chicken pieces that have been coated in a batter and then fried. The batter creates a crispy coating on the chicken. A chef can change the taste of his/her fried chicken by adding different spices to the batter. Delight your family with this healthy alternative that is baked instead of fried.

Daddy Warbucks' All American Kentucky Fried Chicken
Ingredients: • ½ cup buttermilk • 1 large egg white • 1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce • 1 pound chicken breasts (halved, boneless, and skinless) • 1 cup cornflake cereal • 2 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon dried thyme • 1 teaspoon garlic powder • 1 teaspoon salt • Cooking spray • Aluminum foil • 1 large Ziploc bag
Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. 2. In medium bowl, whisk buttermilk, egg white, and hot sauce until blended. 3. Add chicken pieces to the bowl and turn to coat. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.* 4. Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. 5. Combine cornflakes, paprika, thyme, garlic powder, and salt in large Ziploc bag. Seal the bag. 6. Ask your child to crush the cornflakes (in the bag) into crumb sized pieces. 7. Lift chicken pieces, one at a time, from buttermilk mixture and drop into the Ziploc bag. Seal the bag. Ask your child to gently shake the bag to coat the chicken. Next, place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Continue until all of the pieces of chicken have been coated. 8. Lightly spray crumb coating with cooking spray for crisper chicken. 9. Bake 16 to 18 minutes, until browned on the outside, chicken is no longer pink in thickest parts, and crumb coating is crusty.* *Note: Make sure that the chicken is cooked thoroughly to an internal temperature of 170 degrees. Do not put any other food on the same counter as raw chicken. Remember to wash your hands and thoroughly clean the surface immediately after handling the chicken. Yield: 4-6 servings
