2 tbsp. milk
1 c. instant potato flakes
1 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Roll chicken first in egg mix, then in the potato flakes mixture. Melt butter in shallow baking pan. Roll coated chicken pieces in the butter and place them skin side up in the pan. Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until juices from thighs run clear when pierced with a fork. Transfer to serving platter. Serves 4.
