No-Fuss Snack Mix Chicken

Ingredients:

• 1cup butter, melted, or buttermilk

• 4cups Pretzel Snack Mix (see Recipe Center) or purchased snack mix, crushed*

• 5 - 5 1/2pounds meaty chicken pieces**or 6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves (about 2-1/2 lb.)

• Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a 15x10x1-inch baking pan with aluminum foil, set aside. Place melted butter or buttermilk in shallow dish or pie plate. In another shallow dish or on waxed paper place crushed snack mix. Remove skin from meaty chicken pieces. Dip chicken in butter to coat; then dip in snack mix to coat evenly. Place chicken in prepared pan.
  2. Bake until chicken is no longer pink (170 degrees F for breasts; 180 degrees F for thighs and drumsticks). Allow 50 to 60 minutes for meaty chicken pieces or 30 minutes for skinless boneless breast halves.
