Recipe of the Week - Oven Fried Chicken

/

This oven “fried” chicken is extra crispy from a secret ingredient – bran flakes! It’s moist yet still light since little oil is used. You can also make it in the air fryer!

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large bone-in drumsticks, skin removed

  • 2 1/2 cups bran flakes, (use gluten-free corn flakes for GF)

  • 3 tsp kosher salt, less if you are using regular salt

  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp paprika

  • 1/2 tsp fresh black pepper

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

  • 5 tbsp Hellman's light mayonnaise

  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard

  • Oil spray

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Preheat oven to 400F.

  • Line a baking sheet with foil and set a rack above. Spray rack with oil.

  • Crush cereal in a food processor or chopper.

  • In a bowl mix crushed cereal with salt, paprika, garlic powder, black pepper and cayenne pepper.

  • Place in a shallow dish or ziplock bag.

  • Combine mayonnaise and Dijon mustard.

  • Using a cooking brush, brush onto chicken then coat chicken with crushed cereal mixture.

  • Place chicken on wire rack and spray with oil. Bake 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through in the center and reaches an internal temp of 165F.

Air Fryer Fried Chicken Directions:

  • Spray the tops of the chicken with oil and air fry 370F 22 to 24 minutes, turning the chicken halfway and spraying the top again, until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through.
