Not like pan fried because of the potato flakes, but very good! I didn't think the potato flakes would be that good but they were! The chicken was very crispy (I kept the skin on). I added paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper to my mix. Dipped it in beer because - well.... - I had one open! :-D I was going to dish it all up and take a picture but they looked so pretty right out of the oven. :-P Served it with
Better Mashed Potatoes

Yes, I usually cook my chicken at 350 but did this as written. It came out super crispy!

OK, so I looked for "potato flakes" I couldnt see anything that said flakes. Are these instant mashed potatoes? Are there some that are flakes and others not? I picked up a bunch of thighs and some are reserved for this

MP, yeah, instant potatoes are potato flakes .... most are 100% potato, and that's what you want. Some of the brands seem to be much finer than others, some are, indeed, more "flake like"...they look a lil like Panko breadcrumbs. But, you won't know that by the box, if it doesn't say flakes on it, so you can use what you've got unless someone else has a brand name for ya! :-)

Yes, Keni is right, MrP. Instant potatoes are what you want. I think Betty Crocker makes some but the box I have is just a store brand.

Thanks Keni and Frankie. I picked up a box. And Keni, I dont know what "Panko" bread crumbs look like. With all the talk about them, I picked up a box of those too but have not opened them yet. Do they look different than plain bread crumbs?

Those look delicious Frankie! Do you eat really early when the sun is still out or just have a great photo shop? Lol! I can't wait till time change for all that natural light ;) Mr Piggy Panko is much courser than bread crumbs and give off a really good crunch. I prefer them personally for breading, but still use my good old homemade bread crumbs once in a while for meatballs ect. :)

I took that picture with every light on in the kitchen I could find, ml2c. :-P

Uggh I do the same but my light just must be dim or something. My pics always turn out yellowish and I hate it!! Oh well Spring will be here soon ;)

Yes, MP...Panko bread crumbs look like instant potato flakes.

;-)

My usual "rule" for breadcrumbs, is Panko goes ON, fine goes IN.

Do you think this would work on b/s chicken breasts?

Flag
frankieanne 12 years ago said:

I think it would because the recipes says to remove the skin if you want.

Thanks Frankie. I'm thinking I'm going to try this tonight.

Mrtnzangel8, let us know how it comes out. I have thighs reserved for this and have not decided whether or not to remove the skin before making

BS breasts read at 165F and moist after an hour. There is plenty of breading here to do another batch. Used homemade bread crumbs. Baked the clucker parts on a wire rack over a foiled lipped baking sheet.
Plated it with rice simmered in collard green and hog jowl squeezings along with some Baked Lentils With Tangy Barbeque Sauce/saved and a Rum Berry Crisp for dessert.
Removing the skin, Mrpiggy, is a personal preference. I did the breasts skinless and left it on for the drumsticks.
