Crispy Baked Chicken

By Addie

My siblings and I couldn't wait to sit down to supper when Mom was making this delicious chicken. The cornmeal in the coating gives each juicy golden piece a wonderful crunch. -Karen Wingate, Coldwater, Kansas

My bf loved it; he says #1 spot on the list of faves!

I recently found the contest-winning recipe (from 1991 I believe) called "Sunday Fried Chicken," and that is the one I'll be using from now on.

My family loves this recipe. Even my picky 12 year old son.

Our mouths were watering from the delicious armoa coming from the kitchen while this chicken baked. The recipe was so easy. I used legs and thighs so it was very economical as well.

I tried this recipe last night and it was a big hit with my kids (even my picky child). This is now a family favorite.
