southern style fried chicken because it's baked not fried

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.

Tips

Substitute 2 tablespoons olive oil for the mayonnaise or just use 3 tablespoons of olive oil or mayonnaise if you are not quite the Dijon fan that I am.
