Spicy Crisp Oven Fried Chicken

The aroma of the spice mix reminds me a lot of Gardetto's original snack mix... mmmmm! It's combined with crushed cornflakes and it makes extra (unless you want to really want to spice things up and use it all...) to save for seasoning pork chops, etc. And please don't skip the step of making sure the chicken is skinless... otherwise it can get a little greasy.
