Southern-Style Chicken is classic picnic food. It’s great cold. Just pack it up in a basket with a bottle of wine, and head out to the park for a gorgeous day.
This recipe is a real winner. In place of the classic deep-fry method, the chicken is baked in the oven coated in an incredible combination of flavor packed ingredients that produce juicy, crispy, addicting chicken every time.

any chicken spice mix OR equal parts onion powder garlic powder and paprika OR you can just omit it — I have left it out plenty of times and it’s still super tasty from the mustard/mayo combo.
I’ve used BBQ seasoning – delish!
WHAT can i use to substitue the mccormick spice suggested?
It IS supposed to be breadcrumbs, the recipe has been fixed to reflect that. We apologize for the confusion.
I think she means what EDAHGAL said… crush the mini croutons…
Judith, maybe she means we should crush the mini croutons and use those crumbs . . .
I think you meant ‘seasoned breadcrumbs’ in the ingredients rather than ‘mini croutons’
