I did this with chicken wings and it was really good. The smell while cooking was incredible. Do be generous with the spray on cooking oil. -
i've tried this before and it's usually quite good. I had to substitute crushed saltine crackers as all my breadcrumbs were stale and i couldn't be bothered cleaning the blender, but it was still tasty, and the technique is great. I baked it on parchment paper and sprayed the tops but the coating still slipped off a few pieces. Rosie must have a trick she's not sharing? -
My family loves this recipe. It comes out really well if you bake it on a silicone baking pad like a Silpat. Also, spray the top of the chicken well so it will be browned.

This was very tasty dish, however, I found that despite the fact that the baking sheet was sprayed gererously with non-cooking spray, the coating on the chicken stuck to the pan.The chicken, instead of the golden brown colour I expected, was quite dark in some spots, almost black which made it less apealing at the dinner table. I agree, the chicken itself and the pan need to be sprayed quite liberaly with the non-cooking spray.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
