A healthy alternative to traditional fried chicken. It is spicy, crispy and easy to make.

Crispy Oven Fried Chicken - serves 6
12 pieces chicken, about 3 1/2 pounds skinned; all visible fat removed
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 tsp salt (optional)
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 tsp ground ginger, or to taste
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tsp paprika
4 cups wheat-flake cereal, lightly crushed

Preheat your oven to 350 F. Rinse the chicken and pat it dry.
Combine oil, salt, ginger, garlic, and paprika in a small bowl. Place cereal in a pie plate or on a piece of foil.
Brush each piece of chicken on both sides with oil mixture, then dip in cereal crumbs, pressing lightly to get an even coating on all sides.
Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and tender.
Timing will vary according to the thickness of the chicken pieces.
