Do yourself a favor and dont ruin your chicken with oats. They completely took over the flavor and ruined the chicken for us..Stick to Panko and then the recipe will be edible.

I used Panko crumbs instead of the oats. That is the only change. My hubby loved it. We are not exactly the cooked peas type so I made a wonderful salad with roasted raw peanuts, pear, romaine lettus, roma tomatoe, cucumber, red onion and avacado. I made a light dressing with balsamic vinegar and a wonderful olive oil. Tossed and sprinkled with a bit of parmesian. Yum yum dinner.

Too spicy or bland? Obviously, everyone has different tastes. :

I have tried several oven-fried chicken recipes over the past several years and keep coming back to this one. My Gram made the best fried chicken ever, but I've been searching for a healthier alternative. Although not a huge fan of Dijon mustard, it really adds a nice taste to this recipe (brushing the chicken with the mustard helps the crumb coating to adhere a lot better than using just plain milk or oil.

I have discovered a few things that took this recipe from "good" to "best" (for us. First, the oats were replaced by panko crumbs. This made for an infinitely crispier coating. I didn't use the dry mustard in the coating, but did add a dash of ground chipotle pepper for a little heat and smoky flavor. For the smoke with no heat, used smoked paprika for half of the amount of regular paprika.

And, after the chicken is finished in the oven, I place it under the broiler for a very short time in order to make the coating even crispier. But watch it carefully so it doesn't burn!

I think that this may be the winner in my quest for a great oven-fried chicken recipe. Give it a try.

Loved this recipe. Yes, it was spicy, but spices can be toned down if you like. We only buy whole oats so I ground them in the VitaMix first. The coating was perfect and because my pieces were somewhat small I only had to cook it 25 minutes. The mango salad balanced out the spicy chicken.

Was not very impressed it was very bland and nothing was special about it. It was not "crispy" ir just tasted like instant oats on chicken. Not a suggested item

I think this recipe just has too many spices-often, simpler is better.All the different spices just drag it in different directions, without a clear concept of where it's going. I suppose that if you're used to "safe" "bland" "family chicken", this would be a nice change of pace. It's just not very subtly seasoned-the seasonings are like a jackhammer hitting you over the head.

I used an oven thermometer to make sure I was baking at 400 F, and I cooked it 15 minutes longer since I had rather thick breasts. The chicken and crust themselves were just fine. The cooking time will obviously depend on your oven and size of breasts. But the seasonings were just too much.

My husband and I love this recipe. Instead of using oats, I crush up some garlic and cheese croutons and then add the spices to the croutons I use the spices just like the recipe says. I salt and pepper the chicken first instead of putting it in with the spice mixture. I also drizzle a little bit of olive oil on the chicken before adding the mustard. I spread mustard on both sides and coat the chicken in the crouton and spice mix and bake. I like to bake the chicken at 275 degrees for an hour. I made it like this for some friends and they loved it. It goes great with baked sweet potatoes and salad.

i'm not easily impressed but this recipe was very delicious and exceed expectations considering the complaints below. i followed the recipes pretty much verbatim with the exception of using 2 cups corn flakes (put them in a gallon sized zip lock and crush, add spices and use to the big to shake your bird rather than oats - not a big fan of oats. i think the trick to making this crispy is to use a good amount of dijon making sure you can get enough flakes/ spice mixture on the chicken, then once prepped being sure to spray the prepped chicken liberally with vegtable spray (Pam or store brand. i'm a HUGE fan of fried chicken but trying to eat healthy this recipe will be an excellent substitute. of note, i bought a small box of flakes thinking in case i didn't like the recipe i wouldn't have as many flakes to discard - i wish i had bought the big box instead because i will make again and again.
