Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

ingredients
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons half-and-half
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1 teaspoon garlic salt, optional
4 large bone-in chicken thighs
3 tablespoons melted butter
1 tablespoon oil
directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Whisk together the egg and half-and-half in a shallow dish. Combine the bread crumbs, potato flakes, and garlic salt in another shallow dish.
First, dip the chicken thighs in the egg mixture, turning to coat them on all sides. Let any excess egg drip off. Next, dredge the chicken thighs in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly so the crumbs adhere to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken thighs in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle the chicken with the melted butter and oil.
Place the chicken in the oven and bake at 400 degrees F for 35 minutes. Increase the oven temperature to 450 degrees. Bake the chicken for 10-15 additional minutes or until the chicken is browned and crispy and cooked through.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

I do not like chicken thighs . Would chicken breasts work just as well?
You'd probably have to adjust the cooking time (and maybe the temperature) since chicken breasts will dry out much faster at high temps. If you do try it with chicken breasts, let us know what changes you made.

I normally dislike chicken cooked with the skin on, but I knew that it would help to keep the pieces moist--which it did. And the coating was so tasty that I barely noticed that I was gulping down chicken skin with it. A recommended recipe!

Delicious!!! The coating on the chicken is awesome. I added a dash of cayenne to it and regular salt and omitted the garlic salt.

We absolutely loved this recipe! The chicken was tender and juicy, even my picky son was back for more! This recipe has made its mark as a household favorite comfort food!
