ingredients

¹⁄₂ cup cornmeal
¹⁄₂ cup all-purpose flour
1 ¹⁄₂ teaspoons salt
¹⁄₄ teaspoon pepper
¹⁄₂ teaspoon chili powder
¹⁄₂ cup milk
¹⁄₂ cup butter, melted
3 lbs chicken pieces (1 whole chicken, cut up or whatever pieces you prefer)

directions

Combine first 5 ingredients.
Dip chicken pieces in milk.
Then roll in cornmeal mixture.
Place in a well greased 13x9 pan.
Drizzle the butter over chicken.
Bake uncovered in a preheated 375 degree oven for 50- 55 minutes.
Note: I think chicken (fried or baked) tastes better if soaked for at least 4 hours in salt water.
I use seasoned salt- about 3 Tbls.
in a bowl of water big enough to hold chicken.
Be sure to dry the chicken before using.

Used this recipe for my son's southern party he was catering. Southern fried chicken is what everyone thought they were having! They were very surprised when we announced it was baked.

This came out great! I brined some chicken drumsticks, then made a flour-cornflake crumb mixture with spices. Baked it on a rack and it came out crispy,moist and tasty. I really enjoyed the flavor. Thanks for the great healthy recipe!

The flavor of this chicken was very...mehh. Nothing special. I also (as others have stated) experienced the soggy chicken on the bottom....which ultimately turned my chicken into some sort of chicken gravy mess. I wont be making this one again.

Wanted fried chicken but grease bothers both me and my husband. Found this recipe and tried it. Great job! Very good "fried" chicken. I put it a rack above the pan and it works perfectly no soggy chicken. I used the same spices I usually do but included the cornmeal, made it great. Also put the flour mixture in a bag instead of rolling it in a bowl. Even coverage. Will definitley make this again!
