Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Hungry Jack Mashed Potato Flakes
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • ½ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup margarine, melted
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 egg
  • 3 lbs. chicken pieces, cleaned and patted dry

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 400 degrees. In large bowl, combine potato flakes and seasonings. Stir in margarine and mix well. In medium bowl, beat egg and water until well combined. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture and coat all sides with potato flake mixture. Place chicken, skin side up, in 13x9 inch pan. Bake uncovered at 400 degrees for one hour or until tender. I have tripled this recipe when I had 10 extremely large breasts and 7 thighs and I always use foil in my pan as it sticks a lot
