Old Bay Seasoned Fried Chicken Breasts

Chef shapeweaver ©'s Note:

I wanted to do something different with Fried Chicken, so I used Old Bay as my seasoning and it seemed to work out just fine. The time it takes for this to soak is not included in the prep time, so please plan ahead if you are making this recipe.If desired when frying chicken, sprinkle with extra Old Bay Seasoning. As with my recipes, adjust to your own tastes. :)
