Oven-Fried Chicken

I am back from the mountains and now have all the time in the world to blog my favorite recipes. I only cooked three times this summer, and now feel like I need to make up for lost time. As much as I love fried chicken, I can't eat it every night. This chicken is a healthier version of fried chicken, and some people have even said it is better! This is an easy recipe that will definitely be a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients:

1/3 cup milk

1/3 cup olive oil

2 lemons (juiced)

salt and pepper

8 bone-in chicken thighs (skin attached)

1 cup flour

1 tsp cayenne pepper

1 tsp old bay (optional)

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried thyme

preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, stir together milk, olive oil, lemon juice, and s+p. Add the chicken and mix. Leave the chicken to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Mix dry ingredients in shallow bowl. Take chicken pieces out of liquid and dredge in flour mixture. Lay on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Cook for 30-40 minutes turning after 15 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with coarse salt.
