YIELD: 4 servingsALTERNATE RECIPE:
1/2 cup cornmeal (can substitute cornflakes crushed or breadcrumbs)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (3 1/2) pound broiler-fryer chicken, cut up or 4 chicken breast, halved

1/2 cup milk
1/3 cup butter or margarine, melted
1 egg, beaten
Combine the first six ingredients. Dip chicken in beaten egg and
milk mixture, then roll in the cornmeal mixture. Place in a greased
13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan or oven proof dish. Drizzle with
butter or margarine. Bake, uncovered at 375 degrees F. for 50-55
minutes or until juices run clear.
Note: This chicken tastes like fried, except it's not. I added
1/2 teaspoon or more of my own standard house seasonings I call "Wild
Bill's Meat Rub" to the dredge mixture and add the stuff to
most any meat I am preparing. See Wild Bill's Dry Meat Rub recipe
listed below:

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons chili powder 2
tablespoons onion powder
2 teaspoons cayenne pepper* 2

Mix spices in a bowl and store in airtight
container in a cool dark place.
