It's cold out... so we are having....Crunchy Chicken

It is cold out... and snowing, which is good since I don't like it just being cold!  I am hoping for sledding this weekend...fun times for the kids - and me of course!

Tonight we are planning on having Crunchy Chicken... the last time I made it Cyrus wouldn't stop eating it... which is rare, so I will try to make it often.  If I could alternate Flank steak (in a special marinade I will post soon) and Crunchy  Chicken he would eat every day!

Crunchy Chicken 

Ingredients

• 1 egg, beaten 
• 3 tablespoons milk 
• 1-1/4 cups crushed cornflakes or finely crushed rich round crackers (about 35) 
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed 
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika 
• 1/4 teaspoon salt 
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper 
• 2 tablespoons butter or margarine, melted 
• 2-1/2 to 3 pounds meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and drumsticks)

Directions

1. In a small bowl combine egg and milk. For coating, in a shallow dish combine crushed cornflakes, thyme, paprika, salt, pepper; stir in melted butter. Set aside. Skin chicken (I did not). Dip chicken pieces, 1 at a time, into egg mixture; coat with crumb mixture. 

2. In a greased 15x10x1-inch baking pan, arrange chicken, bone side down, so the pieces aren't touching. Sprinkle chicken pieces with any remaining crumb mixture so they are generously coated. 

3. Bake, uncovered, in a 375 degree F oven for 45 to 55 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks). Do not turn chicken pieces while baking. Makes 6 servings. 

I served the chicken with Potatoes and cut up potatoes with a side salad and of course a big glass of  milk in a cold cup(frozen), can't get any better then that.

Have a great day!
