Here’s one way to get the kids to eat their oatmeal. This crunchy oven baked chicken uses little or no additional oil. With Crispy Oven Wedge Fries (http://rockrecipes.blogspot.com/search?q=fries ) this is a great family friendly meal that can be prepared in just over an hour. This recipe also works well without the lemon marinade if you prefer.
1 whole chicken, cut in 8-9 pieces
zest and juice of one lemon
½ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper
Marinate the chicken pieces in the lemon juice, zest, salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag for about a half hour.
2 cups oatmeal
½ tsp ground sage
½ tsp ground thyme
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon dry mustard
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
Process the coating ingredients in a food processor for about 30 seconds. Dip the chicken pieces in an egg wash of 2 eggs whisked together with 4 tbsp water. Coat the chicken pieces by dipping them in the oatmeal crumb mixture and place them on a lightly oiled baking sheet. Spray the tops of the chicken pieces with a little olive oil if you like and bake at 375 degrees F for 50-60 minutes depending upon the size of your chicken pieces.
