I agree with the previous reviewer. The coating doesn't stay on very well. I didn't use any oregano, but did use the garlic salt. The chicken turned out very tender!

This chicken was very good, but the coating didn't stay on very well. I didn't make the whole amount of chicken called for and I'm glad for that reason alone. However, the coating had very good flavor. I followed the recipe exactly as written except for not using all of the chicken pieces, so I don't know what the problem was. Thanks for posting the recipe, though.
