crunchy baked chicken

Several months ago on a rare instance when I allowed CJ to go grocery shopping with me,* CJ stopped by the magazine section and bought the Taste of Home Comfort Food special magazine, just for the recipe on the front.  After buying the ingredients weeks later and then freezing the chicken, I finally found some time a few weeks ago and made it.  We really liked it, and although I would alter it a bit (skip the full broiler/chicken and just stick with chicken breasts), I can tell this one will probably become a favorite in our house.

Crunchy Baked Chicken
Taste of Home
Serves 4-6

1 egg
1 Tbsp. milk
2.8 oz. french-fried onions, crushed
3/4 C. Parmesan
1/4 C. dry bread crumbs
1 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. salt
dash of pepper
1 broiler/fryer chicken (3-4 pounds), cut up
1/4 C. butter, melted

In a shallow bowl, whisk egg and milk.  In another shallow bowl, combine the onions, Parmesan, bread crumbs, paprika, salt, and pepper.  Dip chicken in egg mixture, then roll in onion mixture.

Place in greased 9x13" dish.  Drizzle with butter.  Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
