Baked Fried Chicken

This recipe is one of my favorites!  Anyone who knows me knows that I DO NOT have favorites.  On average I try a new recipe for dinner at least 4 days of the week.  It is uncommon for me to make something more than once a month.

But this chicken...  It is just. So. Delicious.

The kids love it.  The hubs loves it.  I love it.

I make it at least once a month.

I've taken it for moms with new babies / a sick neighbor.

I've made it on busy weekdays and when company is coming.

It is fantastic, moist, wonderfully easy, and you will not be disappointed!
