Maple syrup with chicken may seem a little unusual to you$but it’s really good. Frank liked it so much that I’ve served it to him several times, once substituting boneless skinless chicken breasts. If you want to make that substitution, shorten the cooking time to about twenty minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 170-175 degrees. Also, use instant oatmeal and toast it for a couple of minutes in the oven first, to compensate for the shorter time in the oven.

1 chicken, cut in serving pieces

1 egg

1/2 cup maple syrup

1/2 cup uncooked oatmeal

1 teaspoon salt or to taste

1/4 teaspoon ground pepper

1/3 cup oil

Preheat oven to 350oF. In a shallow bowl beat egg with maple syrup. Place oatmeal, salt and pepper on a sheet of wax paper. Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then oatmeal mixture. Pour oil in shallow baking pan. Place chicken, skin side down, in oil in baking pan; turn chicken pieces to coat with oil; leave skin side up. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 1 hour, or until cooked through.
