I was talking to a friend today when she mentioned that she loved fried foods, but she knew she shouldn't eat it. Imagine how surprised she was when I told her she could fry chicken or pork chops without frying them in oil. She asked me if the directions were on my blog. I told her that it wasn't, but would be tonight since she was interested. I thought if she was interested, all of you might be too. These directions are good for chicken or pork chops. The only difference is the cooking time.
Oven Fried Chicken (or Pork Chops)
1 package of bone in chicken legs or thighs OR 4 to 6 pork chops
1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 cups of milk
About 2 cups of plain flour
salt and pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a ziploc bag, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Line a baking pan with foil and spray with nonstick spray. In a bowl, mix the egg and milk. Dip the chicken or pork chops in the milk mixture. Put the meat in the flour mixture and coat. Dip in milk mixture again and coat in flour. Redip the meat one last time in the milk and lay on the baking sheet. Bake the chicken for 30 minutes, turn over, and cook for 25 to 30 more minutes. For pork chops, bake 20 minutes on each side. A crispy crust will bake onto the meat for a fried chicken or pork chop taste.
