PAULA DEENS ITALIAN CHICKEN STICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a pie plate or platter, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan, thyme, basil, oregano, salt, garlic powder, and red pepper.
• Dip the chicken strips in the melted butter, then dredge them in the bread crumb mixture.
• Place the chicken strips in a single layer on a lightly greased baking sheet.
• Bake for 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve the chicken sticks hot with marinara sauce, or serve hot or cold with honey mustard.

ITALIAN CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally and between saran wrap or in a ziploc bag, pound to approximately 1/4" thickness with the smooth side of a meat tenderizer.
• In a shallow dish or bowl, beat eggs, milk, salt and pepper together. In a separate dish combine bread crumbs, parmigiano reggiano and parsley. Add flour to a separate dish.
• Add the oil to a shallow pan and heat it up over medium heat. How much oil you use will depend on how big your pan is. Aim for the oil to be about 1/2-1" deep.
• Dredge the cutlets in flour on each side. Shake off any excess. Transfer chicken to the eggs, turning to coat. Move chicken to the bread crumb mixture and coat.
• Add chicken to the pan, working in batches, and fry each cutlet 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to absorb excess oil.
• If desired, top with finishing salt and fresh lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!

EASY BAKED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line a glass baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Spread 1/4 cup of olive oil over the bottom of the prepared baking dish and line up drumsticks on top, alternating directions so that they fit. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter each, on the thick part of the chicken. Sprinkle with garlic salt, seasoned salt, salt, and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes. Cover chicken with remaining olive oil; continue to bake until juices run clear and chicken is no longer pink in the centers, 10 to 15 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve.
