SPICY UNFRIED CHICKEN

Category: Chicken

Vegetable oil cooking spray
6 chicken breast halves, skin removed (I use boneless)
6 chicken drumsticks, skin removed
3 1/2 cups ice water
1 cup plain nonfat yogurt

Breading:
1 cup dried Italian bread crumbs
1 cup flour
1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder, Creole seasoning, dried thyme, dried basil and dried oregano
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Dash cayenne pepper

Lightly coat a baking sheet with vegetable oil spray.

Put the chicken in a large bowl with the ice water. Put the yogurt into a medium bowl. Set both aside.

Put all the breading ingredients into a large food storage bag. Seal and shake well to mix. Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the ice water. Roll each piece in the yogurt. Put the chicken into the plastic bag, reseal and shake to coat thoroughly. Transfer the breaded chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until all 12 pieces are breaded. Spray the chicken pieces lightly with the vegetable oil spray.

Place the baking sheet on bottom shelf of preheated 400 oven; bake for 1 hour, turning the pieces every 20 minutes to allow even browning. Serves 8 to 10.
