Fake-and-bake Chicken

baked-chicken-rs-671405-l

I love ranch ranch dressing so this appealed to me in instantly. I was very dubious about the potato flakes but have to say they worked so well - and easily spiced up by adding any favourite spices of your choice in with the potato flakes or by using something like a sweet chilli sauce to coat the chicken with - then you can have tastes met for the whole family.

INGREDIENTS
Chicken pieces
Ranch Dressing
Instant Potato Flakes

Heat oven to 450F/230C/Gas8. Coat baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray.
Brush the chicken pieces with ranch dressing.
Roll in the potato flakes.
Place on baking sheet (duh!)
Turn oven down to 350F/180C/Gas4 - bake for 25 mins/until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
