Southern Oven-Fried Chicken

I have to give credit where credit is due, so this Southern Oven-Fried Chicken recipe actually came from a very old cookbook from a church in Tennessee where Mr. Gracious’ grandma lived.  I’d love to say I was pleasantly surprised at how AMAZING it is, but seriously.  Of course, these Southern ladies can cook up some delicious Southern food!

This Southern Oven-Fried Chicken may be my new favorite recipe.  I mean Homemade Chicken Pot Pie is still up there, but this one is just so easy and so delicious.  And I didn’t even have to fight my kids to get them eat it!

The Parmesan cheese in this Southern Oven-Fried Chicken recipe adds just the right amount of contrasting flavor. You just have to try it to believe how delicious it is!
