GREAT SOUTHERN OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
I am a retired caterer. I have used this recipe for many years. Everyone I have served it too seems to just love it and always come back for seconds. Its one of the simplest and easiest fried chicken recipes you will ever prepare. The Ritz cracker crumbs were used many years ago as a last minute substitute for saltines. I think this was a one of my best substitutes ever. Needless to say I never used saltines again. I hope you enjoy!

FABULOUS SOUTHERN-STYLE OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
I devised this to resolve my southern husband's taste for fried chicken with a HEALTHY, non-deep-fried version, with no wheat, milk, eggs, or processed or artificial ingredients. It's a delicious EASY recipe that works for chicken legs, thighs, or breasts. Make PLENTY in the summer to eat as is, or use leftovers for chicken SALAD!

Steps:
- For moistest results soak chicken pieces in a bowl of salted water for 15 minutes before cooking.
- Line baking tray with foil and spray lightly with oil.
- Grind dry ingredients in coffee grinder or with pestle and mortar.
- Pour into a bowl and add water little by little while stirring until a smooth runny paste is achieved. You may need more or less water.
- Remove chicken from soaking water, and pat dry if necessary.
- Dip into the rosemary coating until covered, and place on baking tray. This will seal in the juices.
- Bake at 365º for one hour.
- Once it's in, put your feet up for at least ten minutes, drink a glass of cold water, breathe deeply - and relax. Your chicken is safe.
- Suggestions: Serve with brown rice and greens, or if you have cooked breasts or thighs, then serve the chicken chopped into a salad with cucumbers, roma tomatoes and red onion, topped with Chimichurri sauce - a purée of cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt.

REAL SOUTHERN FRIED CHICKEN
As a Yankee originally from Vermont, I didn't know one fried chicken from another. They all seemed pretty much the same to me. Tasting the Southern version opened my eyes! A side of hot biscuits served with butter and honey is practically mandatory. -Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia
