OVEN FRIED CAJUN CHICKEN 
1 frying chicken or 6 breasts or 6 leg thigh quarters
1 cup flour
black pepper and garlic powder (for sprinkling)
Creole seasoning

Preheat oven to 425°F.

Pat chicken dry with a clean paper towel and sprinkle with garlic powder and Creole seasoning.

In a Ziploc bag, combine 1 cup flour, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional - adjust heat as desired), 1/2 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning. Close bag and mix well.

This was delicious. I only used drumsticks and I used whole wheat flour for added nutrition and and it came out crispy and delicious. No one else even guessed it was whole wheat flour.

Throw away your frying pans. This recipe is by far the best. No yucky oil to clean up or buy. Great

Tried this chicken last night it was really good my daughters loved it! I actually felt it could have been cooked a little longer or with a bit higher heat to make it even crispier but the taste was delicious!

I patted dry the six drumstick/thigh pieces I used as someone suggested. I used Emeril`s Creole seasoning recipe (I halved it and used it all up). It was more like a tablespoon of the creole seasoning went in with the flour vs. the 1/2 tsp. Everyone loved it Even my picky teens. The skin is so crispy and flavorful. Served with a cucumber salad and some biscuits.

Wow! I just made this recipe on the grill using skinless chicken breasts, and it was better than fantastic! I placed the chicken breasts on the open grill for the last 3 to 4 minutes per side to give them that nice grilled look. Then I used the juices from the baking pans as a glaze when serving (presentation, presentation, presentation!). Easy to prepare, delicious to eat, and a snap to clean up!

The key is to pat the chicken dry. Don't ask me why but I made this w and w/o doing that and it made all the difference!
