Lovely! Doubled chicken, tripled spices. Used "Blazin Blends" New Orleans style spices from Dollar Tree for Cajun. Only used half a cup of butter despite doubling the chicken. All else was exactly as written. The smell had us at 20 minutes, shame we had to wait! Actually printed it to use again. Rare occasion :)

After reading all of the reviews I decided to try this recipe, I am a cajun from south central Louisiana and I make killer fried chicken but this recipe was awesome without the grease! I used Tony Chachere's seasoning and of course used more than the recipe called for and it was terrific!

I tried this recipe with thighs, and they were absolutely scrumptious. I used a tablespoon of Creole seasoning along with some garlic and onion powder. Very flavorful! This will be a tradition in my family from now on.

As a New Orleanian now living on the West Coast I can use my oven much more because of the cooler temperatures out here. If you live in a 140 yr old shotgun house in Mid City of NOLA you know what I mean.

I would have never considered this 'real' fried chicken (and I have been told I make the best fried chicken in SE La) - BUT it was great!

I substituted 1/4 cup of olive oil and 1/4 cup of butter and it was still great!

Also, back in the day, when I was on a camping trip with the Girl Scouts, our troop leader cooks used crushed corn flakes. I remember that now, even 50 years later. It was a delicious treat.

I coated the chicken breasts in breadcrumbs instead of flour, I think it gets crispier this way :)
