The name of this chicken says it all. A word of caution this shouldn’t be a first date recipe. It’s very garlicky, but if you like garlic you will love this recipe. To cut down on the garlic taste you could leave out the fresh garlic, but I think you would be doing this recipe injustice. When I made this, my family had no idea it was baked not fried. The first thing I heard was wow this fried chicken is good. Nope not fired. The flavor is amazing, and the crispiness leads you to believe this is fried chicken. I love this recipe because it’s something that could be very versatile. I think the breadcrumbs; with the cornbread, crumbs are what give it the extra crunch.
