Oven fried chicken

[oldrustycars]

I've always made oven fried chicken by seasoning the chicken, then dredging it in flour. I place it in a baking dish, and add butter to each piece. Tastes pretty good, and looks just like fried chicken. Has anyone made it with a batter like traditional fried chicken? Did it come out good? I can't seem to get excited about making real fried chicken living alone.

Trying using a can of Lemonade concentrate as a marinade, reserving about 1/4 cup to use for basting. Then do your chicken as you normally would.

Thanks mcnerd, but thats not what I'm after. What I'm wondering is has anyone made a batter, just as they would for frying chicken in oil in a skillet, but instead placed the battered chicken in the oven in a baking dish?

Is this what you're looking for? This recipe involves battering, then baking and happens to be one of Mrs .40's favorite weeknight entrees.
