Title: Rosie's Unfried Chicken
Categories: Poultry Entree Lowcal
Yield: 12 Pieces
| Lt. veg. oil cooking spray | ||
| 6 | Chicken drumsticks | |
| 3 | Whole chicken breast, 1/2ved | |
| 3 1/2 | c | Ice Water |
| 1 | c | Plain nonfat yogurt |
| BREADING | ||
| 1 | c | Dried Italian bread crumbs |
| 1 | c | All-purpose flour |
| 1 | tb | Old bay seasoning |
| 1/2 | ts | Garlic powder |
| 1/2 | ts | Creole seasoning |
| 1/8 | ts | Freshly ground black pepper |
| Dash cayenne pepper | ||
| 1/2 | ts | Dried thyme |
| 1/2 | ts | Dried basil |
| 1/2 | ts | Dried oregano |
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with 3 sprays of the vegetable oil. Put the chicken in a large bowl with the ice water. Put the yogurt into a medium bowl. Set both bowls aside. Toss all the breading ingredients into a large, tightly-sealing plastic bag. Seal and shake well to mix. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the ice water. Roll each piece in the yogurt. Put the chicken into the plastice bag and reseal and shake to coat thoroughly. Transfer the breaded chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for all 12 pieces. Spray chicken lightly with the vegatable oil. Place the baking sheet on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake for 1 hour, turning the pieces every 20 minutes to allow even browning. Serve room temp or hot.
*The secret to the sucess of this recipe is to make sure that both the chicken and the yogurt very cold (hence soaking chicken in the water). The prelimanary soaking will help the breading adhere and producea crisp coating much like that of fried chicken. If you are serving the chicken on a platter rather that on individual dinner plates, it looks smashing on a bed of flowering kale.
