Simple Southern-Style "Unfried" Chicken

My 12 y/o and i are partial to chicken thighs, so that's what i used, and the store i went to didn't have the shake and bake used in this recipe so i used extra crispy. although next time i'll have to use 2 packets because i barely covered the last two thighs. my picky daughter loved the dish and so did i, it was easy and delicious, a nice cheat to salving over a hot stove and getting burnt by hot grease

We LOVED this!!! I am not a person that puts/dips things in ranch, but it didn't taste like ranch. It just gave it a nice zesty zip! My husband, who loves ranch, didn't even know there was ranch! The only thing that was a big pain was cutting up the whole chicken. Next time, I'll buy fresh breasts or chicken pieces already cut.

This was good, but it seemed to take me a long time to make.

Easy and simple - just the way I like to cook.

I added a few things to make this recipe better after reading the reviews I knew it needed some personal touches. When I marinated the chicken I added some zesty Italian dressing and hot sauce. In the coating mix I added garlic salt, and shredded parmesan cheese. It turned out very juicy and crispy. It is a huge success in my household.

This receipe was okay nothing really special, actually chicken needed more flavor and chicken a bit dry.

I wanted to really like this recipe...but I didn't LOVE it. I'm glad I took other reviewers advice and used the Oven Fry instead of the shake-n-bake. Perhaps next time, I'll add some hot sauce to my chicken. And I will make it again, my kids did love it.

This chicken was amazing and everyone loved it. I can't get xtra crispy shake n bake at my supermarket so I use Krafts oven fry mix instead and it is really good. Next time I want to try it with hot sauce.

this is one of our staples! i take the chicken out of the freezer in the morning, cover w/ the dressing in the freezer bag and when i get home from work, cover w/ breading and bake! we often use boneless tenders which are easier for the kids to eat (the kids ALWAYS clean their plates too, which never happens!) and this makes a perfect picnic chicken as well...my husband says he likes it cold just as much as warm. and when we do have leftovers, we slice it into thin strips and make wrap sandwiches for lunch the next day. one quick thing i've learned...use the extra crispy or (oven fry brand). the regular or generic shake n bake just isn't as good. although I have sucess "cutting" the crumbs w/ seasoned bread crumbs to make it go a little farther.

This chicken was delicious, I made this last night for dinner, everyone loved it!! I recommend adding a few dashes of hot sauce to ranch and backing it on a rack, that way the bottom doesn't get soggy!I will make this again!
