I call this America’s best-loved oven-fried chicken. The secret is in the breading, which makes the chicken super moist and flavorful, herby and golden brown. &mdash;Elaina Morgan, Rickman, Tennessee

Southern-Style Oven-Fried Chicken

Ritz crackers (about 50)

parsley

garlic salt

paprika

pepper

cumin

sage

eggs

broiler/fryer chicken (3

Preheat oven to 400°. Place a rack in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan; coat the rack with cooking spray.

In a shallow bowl, mix the first seven ingredients. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk eggs. Dip chicken in eggs, then in cracker mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Place on prepared rack.

Bake 20 minutes. Turn chicken; bake until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear, 15-25 minutes longer.

Loved this! Followed the directions exactly, except added a bit more salt for flavor. The key is baking the chicken on the rack so it doesn't become soggy on the bottom. I had no issues with sloppy, soggy, slimy or mushy chicken. Family loved it.

This was really easy and good.The only thing I changed was I didn't add cumin and since I used chicken breasts I baked it a little longer.Will probably make again with thighs and legs.

Disappointing. The chicken comes out soggy, this is nothing like fried chicken and doesn't even qualify as oven-fried chicken. It comes out slimy and mushy. The seasoning mix is barely detectable. Overall just really blah. Definitely won't make this again.

i used this breading on chicken tenders and it was great!

Delicious!  I followed the recipe exactly and I wouldn't change anything.  The whole family devoured it.  Will definitely make again!

This was oh-my-word good!  I was just making a small amount of drumsticks, so I halved the amount of crackers I used.  I kept the seasoning quantities the same, though.  It was so flavorful!

This is the best fried chicken recipe I've made......and it's so easy compared to real fried chicken made on the stove top.  This will be my new go to for fried chicken!!!!

Excellent!  Followed the recipe instructions exactly, which is something I don't normally do. A definite keeper.

Out of this world??! The chicken breasts that I did with this recipe were so succulent my son said,"Mom you out did yourself...fantastic??! Well, needless to say this recipe is a KEEPER??!As side dishes, we had Paula's acorn squash and Green Giant's no sauced peas...What a scrumptious meal. Please enjoy it real soon??.

Very good!  The whole family enjoyed it.  I used boneless, skinless chicken thighs and garlic powder instead of garlic salt.   Next time I will add a little salt.  Tasty!

Delicious!!  So crunchy and moist.  Will make this recipe again!  I followed the recipe as written and I don't think I would change anything, but might add just a pinch of salt.

Followed this recipe exactly except I baked it a bit longer because my chicken was bigger.Turned out great and definitely beats standing over a fry pan!

This is a great breading for chicken. I brined the chicken in salt/water and that alleviated the tad of missing salt as other reviewers stated. Definitely a keeper!

Really easy, juicy chicken recipe.  Perfect flavor though I did add salt.

This was so juicy!  I always have all of these items on hand, and it was fantastic.  I love recipes that use a whole chicken because the leftovers are great for sandwiches, salad toppings, or additions to pasta the next day.  This is most definitely going to be a regular recipe in my household!

this was BEYOND TERRIBLE!....the "egg wash/cracker breading is a disaster" - egg wash cooked skin inner meat was RAW! again; wasted a LB of food -not happy!

This recipe was a big hit with the family. Preparation was pretty fast and simple. Next time I will probably add a little onion salt/powder and cayenne pepper to spice it up. Great recipe!

It really did taste like it was fried. My entire family liked it. I do see why people say it's a sloppy mess though. I would highly recommend broiling it at the end to crisp it up.

I didn't really care for the cracker coating in this recipe.  Probably will not make this again.
