Oven "Fried" Chicken Legs

From Jane Brody's Good Food Cookbook

Ingredients

• 6 chicken legs and thights, skinned and trimmed of fat
• Milk (skim or low-fat) for soaking the chicken
• 1/2 cup plain dry bread crumbs or cereal crumbs (cornflakes are good)
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• 1 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes, crumbled
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
• Vegetable oil spray for the chicken, if desired

Directions

• Place the chicken pieces in a shallow bowl or pan, and cover them with the milk. Let the chicken soak for 15 minutes or longer (refrigerate, if necessary to keep the ingredients cold.)
• In a shallow bowl or pie plate, combine the bread crumbs or cereal crumbs, cheese, parsely flakes, and pepper.
• One by one, dip the soaked chicken pieces in the breading mixture, coating the chicken on all sides. Set the coated chicken pieces on a greased baking sheet, preferably one with a nonstick surface. lightly spray the chicken pieces with vegetable-oil spray, if desired.
• Bake the chicken in a preheated 375 degree over for about 45 minutes.

Homemaking Tip

• This chicken is also great cold the next day like picnic chicken!
