Southern Oven Fried Chicken

I got this recipe out of one of my weight watchers cookbook. My family loved it.

Southern Oven Fried Chicken
1/2 cup fat free buttermilk
1/2 cup cornflakes, crushed
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 pounds chicken parts, skinned
4 teaspoon canola oil

1.Preheat oven to 400. Spray large baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
2. Pour buttermilk into large shallow bowl. On a sheet of wax paper combine cornflake crumbs,flour,salt, and pepper.  Dip chicken in the buttermilk, then dredge in cornflake mixture,coating completely. Place the chicken on the baking sheet: drizzle with oil. Bake 30 minutes, then turn chicken over. Bake until cooked through,15 to 20 minutes longer. 6 points plus
I did change this recipe a little. I lowered the temp. to 375. I also made double of the cornflake mixture. This may change the point plus value.
Have a great Wednesday.
Warmly,
Tracy

Wednesday

Today is a busy day for me. We have school to do. I have to clean sometime soon or I may get lost in the mess! (lol). We have  errands such as flute, lessons, piano, library, tutor and youth group today. I try to do most of my running on Wed. and Thurs. because I like to be home all day on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. I think it's important  to have days at home for my sanity.

On another note the picture above is of my new great nephew Jonsel. He was born in Nov. Cute isn't he?? Have a great Wednesday.

weight watcher for the new year.

Today was my first weight watcher weigh in of the New Year. I gained about 5 pounds over the holidays. I decided to get back in the swing of things. Hopefully next week there will be a loss. Weight loss has been a battle for me for years. I refuse to give up though. Today's meeting we talked about believing in ourselves and key things to do for success. Wish me well as I continue in this journey.
