Oven "fried" chicken




                This fried chicken has everything going for it: great garlic flavor, a lowfat oven-baked crispy crust without skin, and serving ease--it's great hot or cold. Cooking the garlic before adding it to the rest of the coating ingredients makes it less sharp. A food processor or blender makes fast work of this preparation.
