How to Make Amazing And Healthy Oven Fried Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Lightly coat a dark-colored nonstick baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. In a medium bowl, place 1 cup sour cream and set aside.
  4. In a separate medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups crushed cornflakes, 1 cup cornmeal, 1 tbsp Old Bay seasoning, 1 tbsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp peppercorn mix, and ¼ tsp cayenne pepper.
  5. Prepare your workspace: Place chicken pieces on the left, sour cream to the right of the chicken, cornmeal mixture to the right of the sour cream, and baking sheet to the right of the cornmeal.
  6. Using your left hand, dip each chicken piece into the sour cream, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Then, using your right hand, dredge the sour cream-coated chicken in the cornmeal mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  8. Place the breaded chicken pieces onto the prepared baking sheet.
  9. Lightly spray chicken pieces with cooking spray or melted butter.
  10. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown, depending on the size and thickness of the pieces. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
