instructions
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375° F (190° C)
  2. With canola oil, generiously grease the bottom of a large pyrex dish, big enough to hold all your chicken pieces in one layer.
  3. Dip the chicken in the egg and then the bread crumbs. Place skin-side-up in the greased pyrex. Repeat until all the chicken is breaded.
  4. Pour canola oil into your hand, and drip it over the chicken pieces. Use enough oil for the chicken to be crispy after it is baked.
  5. Bake the chicken at 375° F (190° C) for 75-90 minutes, depending on how well done you like your chicken.
