We have been overwhelmed with ideas and suggestions on how to use our new Paschal's World Famous Chicken Batter Mix. From die hard meat eaters to vegetarians, there's a Paschal's for everyone!

Paschal's Oven Baked Fried Chicken

Here's a healthy and delicious alternative to "traditional" fried chicken.

You will need:

1 whole fryer cut into parts

1 3oz Package of Paschal's World Famous Chicken Batter Mix

1 cup of milk

PAM, Crisco or any other non-stick cooking spray

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a large cookie sheet with the non-stick cooking spray. Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces and place milk into a shallow bowl. Open chicken batter mix and place in another shallow bowl or a small brown paper bag. Take chicken, 2-3 pieces at a time, dip in milk and then batter mix, place on cookie sheet. Continue process until all pieces have been coated and placed on the cookie sheet. Spray chicken pieces with non-stick cooking spray and place in oven for 20-30 minutes, cooking times will vary according to specific oven manufactures. When chicken is done, remove from cookie sheet and serve.

Variations:

Paschal's Oven Fried Buffalo Chicken Wings

Follow recipe as above, but after removing chicken from oven, in a shallow container with a top, mix 1/2 cup of hot sauce (we like Frank's Red Hot Hot Sauce) and a 1/4 stick of melted butter and toss chicken pieces in the mixture. Serve with celery sticks and blue cheese salad dressing.
