Un-fried Chicken

cooking spray
6 skinless chicken drumsticks
6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
3 1/2 cups ice water
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt
1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
dash cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Preheat the oven to 400° F.

Coat a baking sheet with nonstick spray. Put the chicken into a large bowl with the ice water. Put the yogurt into a medium bowl. Set both bowls aside.

Toss all the breading ingredients in a large Ziplock bag. Seal and shake well to mix. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the ice water and blot dry. Roll each piece in the yogurt, then toss them in the bag of crumbs to coat.

Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken is coated. Spray the chicken lightly with cooking spray.

Place the sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour, turning the pieces every 20 minutes to allow even browning. Serve hot or at room temperature.
