Cajun Oven-Fried Chicken:

Panko, fresh crunchy Japenese breadcumbs, can be found at Asian markets. They produce the crispest oven-fried chicken, so it’s worth the effort. You can try curry powder in place of the Cajun seasoning.

1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk
1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning (such as Spice Hunter)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs)
2 chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), skinned
2 chicken drumsticks (about1/2 pound), skinned
2 chicken thighs (about 1/2 pound), skinned
Cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400°.

Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Place panko in a shallow dish. Dip chicken, one piece at a time, into buttermilk mixture; dredge in panko.

Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until done, turning after 20 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 breast half or 1 thigh and 1 drumstick)

This is the most basic and works every time:

Heat grease (not oil) such as Crisco plain to medium high, then:

2 Cups of Flour
1 Tablespoon (yeah, tablespoon) of salt
½ Tablespoon of pepper

Place in paper bag and shake well.

Rinse chicken with skin and toss in paper bag and shake.

Place in grease gently and crowd pieces together.

Cook until light brown on one side, turn over and cover.

Once brown on the second side, remove cover and turn over chicken again and cook open until done.

Be sure to drain them on a wire rack instead of paper towels.
