Inside-Out "Fried" Chicken
Vegetable oil
Cooking spray
8 pieces skinless bone-in chicken, breasts, thighs, or drumsticks
1 cup canola oil
1 cup seasoned dried breadcrumbs
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
garlic powder, optional
cayenne, optional
Preheat oven to 400 F. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray. Place the
chicken in a bowl large enough to hold all of it. Pour the oil over the chicken
and rub it into all pieces. Set aside. Combine the breadcrumbs, cornmeal, and
seasonings in a separate large bowl. Dredge the chicken through the breadcrumb
mixture. Arrange the chicken on a prepared pan so the pieces don't touch. Bake
about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking. The internal
temperature of the chicken should reach 165¢ªF. Serve hot.
