Oven Fried Chicken was a real treat for our family. The easy way was when Dad brought home fast-food fried chicken pieces.
Now, I know what you're thinking - this isn't a German-style Fried Chicken recipe. But when it was served with potatoes and red cabbage, m-m-m-m-m, it seemed like traditional German cooking!
The were only two problems. First, it was expensive. Second, it was almost cold by the time he got it home.
Let me share my solution with you. I wanted easy and economical. Easy, just take your favorite seasoning salt, sprinkle on chicken and bake. Economical, use whatever is on sale - chicken drumsticks, chicken thighs, quarter chicken pieces or cut up a whole chicken.
Quick clean up was also important. In the beginning, I put the chicken pieces on a cookie rack on a cookie sheet (with an edge). Good, but messy to clean. So I then lined a cookie sheet with foil. That worked better. However, if you have a stoneware cookie sheet with an edge - that works best. Just put the pieces directly on the stoneware - no rack. Both ways will give you finger-lickin' good Chicken.
