Tips:
Seasoned potato flakes add a crisp coating to this baked chicken.
Skinless chicken pieces work well in this recipe.
*Coat chicken, with zero mess! Seal chicken, seasonings and breadcrumbs inside a freezer bag and shake for perfectly covered, crispy results.

Potato salad, buttered baby peas and biscuits or cornbread make your chicken dinner complete.
