CEiMB: Oven-Fried Chicken

This weeks recipe for Craving Ellie in My Belly was Oven Fried Chicken chosen by Lonely Sidecar. I was particularly excited to hear that our recipe for the week was the oven fried chicken. I haven't had real fried chicken in so long and I was anxious to try a version that would be healthier yet still retain that delicious crispy outside.

Ellie's oven fried chicken definitely fits the bill. It was quick, easy, and very tasty. The chicken is coated in a yogurt mixture that I think adds an extra tasty tang of flavor. The outside...my favorite part...was a delicious mixture of crushed corn flakes and panko (she calls for crackers but I forgot to pick them up). It has a touch of cayenne to give it a bite, a little too much for me but it wasn't overwhelming.

This will definitely be an addition to my must makes. It was delicious especially with a honey mustard dip on the side. The honey mustard tamed the cayenne and added even more tang to the chicken! I used whole chicken breasts but I think this would be even better cut up into strips.

Sorry for the late, short post. I forgot to schedule it to post ahead of time and last night I was at a Coldplay concert (amazing!!!!) so I didn't check until I was at work this morning!
