This is the OMG oven "fried" chicken because every time you make it, someone will say OMG, this is delicious. The ingredients sound a little strange, but it has an awesome taste. This recipe can be modified to your personal tastes by simply changing the type of coating you use. I've used several and they all work great! I love Ritz crackers or Club crackers. I've also used crushed garlic croutons, Italian bread crumbs, and Panko crumbs. Sometimes I add crushed bacon bits to the crumb mixture to give it a bacon ranch flavor. It's a very versatile recipe, so I fully support playing with it.
