My family loved it! I followed the recipe very closely. It baked longer but that didn't affect it. -
I can't WAIT to make this again! I used two big bone-in breasts and subbed 1/3 cup of panko for the bread crumbs. I also sprayed the tops with a little cooking spray. We ended up devouring chicken that was crunchy and a gorgeous golden brown on the outside, and wonderfully moist and juicy on the inside. It would likely be equally delicious served cold. Maybe the best part is that with a recipe such as this, there's no need to fry. Thanks, Bergy! And my waistline thanks you too! -
This is a great little recipe for when I don't feel like going to a lot of trouble. Being the only meat eater in my house, I like to buy 2 small packages of drumsticks, shake them up in the mixture, divide by individual servings and freeze in plastic freezer bags. They can go straight from the freezer and into the oven, & it just takes maybe 10-15 extra minutes for them to cook up (And theres no breading wasted). -
I didn't have regular ranch mix so I used the Fiesta Ranch dip mix that I had (by Hidden Valley). It was awesome. My husband doesn't like chicken and he said he liked that chicken as much as it was possible for him to like chicken. Bergy, I have to tell you, your recipes are the reason I joined the site. Love 'em. Thanks! -
I was about to fry chicken and saw this in the photo forum for the Bergy Cook-a-thon. I chose to make this instead because I had everything on hand. I am so glad I did. What a mess of grease it saved me and it was SO GOOD! Thank you AGAIN Bergy!

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
