Baked Gluten Free Ranch Chicken

Moist, slightly tangy chicken, covered in a mildly crunchy coating, AND gluten free. You get all that in this flavorful dish. When I first heard of using ranch dressing as part of the coating on this chicken, I thought no way, ranch is for salads. When my daughter reminded me that she likes to use it as a dip for chicken nuggets and that it was really good, I rethought my original reluctance and decided to give it a try. I needed something besides flour to use as the main part of the breading, so it would be gluten free, and after looking through my pantry, came up with a box of corn flakes. Perfect! I gave them a quick whirl through my food processor and the breading was ready. Once baked it came out tender and juicy and full of flavor. My family gobbled it up.

Baked Gluten Free Ranch Chicken

4 chicken leg quarters, cut up
2 cups corn flake crumbs
1 tsp. Mrs Dash Poultry Seasoning
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 cup ranch dressing {Try my homemade version}

Mix corn flake crumbs and seasonings together. Dredge chicken pieces in ranch dressing, then roll in the corn flake mixture. Place pieces in a greased baking pan and bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes, or until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife.
