Directions:
Combine the first 9 ingredients to make breading.

Dust chicken pieces with flour, then in milk and egg (combined), then roll in the breading. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Don't over crowd! Pour melted butter over chicken. Bake at 400º for 1/2 hour. Turn chicken and bake another 1/2 hour, lowering oven to 375º.

You may put in a casserole dish to only to keep warm in oven.

Alternate method: Bake coated chicken on a rack to brown on both sides. You probably will still have to turn the chicken.
