Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 cup buttermilk or milk

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • 2 cup crushed corn flakes

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano, crushed

  • 3 pound meaty chicken pieces (breast halves, thighs, and/or drumsticks), skinned if desired

  • ¼ cup butter, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a 15x10x1-baking pan; set aside. In a shallow dish combine eggs, buttermilk, and salt. In another shallow dish stir together crushed corn flakes and oregano. Dip chicken pieces, one at a time, into egg mixture, then into corn flake mixture, turning to coat. Arrange chicken in the prepared baking pan so pieces do not touch. Drizzle with melted butter.

  2. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes or until chicken is done (170°F for breasts; at least 175°F for thighs and drumsticks).
