"I have made this recipe in the past and I am posting it in honor of Judy- Jude. Also posting for the "Cookathon" in memory of her (Jan, 09). She had many favorite recipes, however, this one by her father she really liked. I refer to it as KFC Judy D's Father's Recipe. It is very good."

NOTE:. This recipe is basically written as is, which I had received from Judy. She has also substituted skinless chicken pieces. And I have often added more spices, to make it similar to Kentucky Fried Chicken -- and used boneless chicken as well. Enjoy, it is a very good recipe and a withh a nice KFC taste as well.

This chicken turned out perfectly! I loved the very crispy outside. It's not the healthiest way to cook chicken, but it's sure delicious!! The seasoning mixture gave the chicken great flavor, too. FYI - The directions don't mention dredging the chicken in the flour mixture before putting into the pan. Thanks for the yummy chicken recipe. Finger-lickin' good!

I have been on a quest to find the greatest oven-fried chicken - crispy on the outside and moist and tender on the inside. This is one of my 2 favorites so far. I made just thighs and it was wonderful. Even my grandson who is not a fan of fried chicken (go figure, lol) loved it and had more. Thanks Skipper/Sy for sharing your friend's great recipe. Made for All You Can Cook Buffet Tag.

I somehow missed the cookathon in remembrance of Judy-Jude so decided to prepare this recipe and the other chicken recipe she shared with you #349037 in her honor. I'm so very glad I did. This is wonderful chicken - very crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside - and a nice blend of seasonings. My entire family enjoyed it. I reduced the oven temperature to 400F so that I could put both types of chicken in the oven simultaneously. It still came out marvelous. Thank you for posting Skipper/Sy. May Judy-Jude live on in the hearts of those who love her.
