This recipe is a waste of time. The chicken was tough and the breading was bland.

I followed the recipe exactly and the chicken was still undercooked. I had to put it back in the oven for an additional 15 minutes.

The chicken was a little dry, but the flavor was good.

This recipe was easy to follow and the chicken turned out great. I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they were cooked perfectly in the oven. I served the chicken with mashed potatoes and green beans.

I've tried many oven-fried chicken recipes, but this one is by far the best. The chicken was perfectly cooked and the breading was flavorful and crispy. I will definitely be making this again!

This light oven-fried chicken was a hit with my family! The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. I loved that I didn't have to deep fry the chicken, which made it a healthier option.
