another one my kids love is pepsi chicken, use pepsi and ketchup to make a suace to cook it in. i'm fixing to head out the door to work or i'd post it. it would probably be easy to google though.

Thanks for the other great sounding recipes on here. I'm gonna tryem. I'm especially intrigued by the chip and dip recipe.

This is a very simple recipe, but quick and easy. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees and spray a shallow baking pan with non-stick spray. Remove skin and wash chicken pieces. Then roll in Italian seasoned bread crumbs. You can find this at save a lot very reasonable. Bake for 30 minutes and then spray tops of chicken pieces with non-stick spray. Bake for another 30 minutes.

i love the recipes posted and plan on trying them.

this is not the best with bone in chicken but i've done it with it. i take potato chip dip and coat my chicken with it real good then roll it in crushed plain potato chips and bake till it's done. my kids absolutely love it. it's best with boneless skinless chicken breast but i have done it with bone in thighs.
