Golden Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients:

1 c. fine bread crumbs
¼ c. Parmesan cheese
2 Tbs. parsley flakes
1 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. crushed thyme
1/8 tsp. pepper
½ c. margarine
1/8 tsp. garlic powder
8 chicken breasts or 10-12 thighs, skinned

Directions:

Combine bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, salt, thyme and pepper in a pie pan. Melt margarine with garlic powder. Dip chicken in margarine, then in the bread crumb mixture. Place in 12” Dutch oven in a single layer (so a shallow Dutch oven is best). Bake with 12 briquettes on bottom and 16 briquettes on top for about 45-60 minutes. Yummy!

This recipe was in our original Ward Cookbook in 1979 and was entered by Kathy Anderson who used to live next door to me on the south. It can be baked on a cookie sheet in a 375 degree oven for the same amount of time.
