Southern Oven-Fried Chicken
I have to give credit where credit is due, so this Southern Oven-Fried Chicken recipe actually came from a very old cookbook from a church in Tennessee where Mr. Gracious’ grandma lived. I’d love to say I was pleasantly surprised at how AMAZING it is, but seriously. Of course, these Southern ladies can cook up some delicious Southern food!
This Southern Oven-Fried Chicken may be my new favorite recipe. I mean Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is still up there, but this one is just so easy and so delicious. And I didn’t even have to fight my kids to get them eat it!
The Parmesan cheese in this Southern Oven-Fried Chicken recipe adds just the right amount of contrasting flavor. You just have to try it to believe how delicious it is!
