Simple Southern-Style "Unfried" Chicken

INGREDIENTS :

1 broiler-fryer chicken (3-1/4 lb.), cut up
1/2 cup KRAFT Light Ranch Dressing
1 pkt. SHAKE 'N BAKE Extra Crispy Seasoned Coating Mix

COOKING DIRECTIONS :

REMOVE skin from all chicken pieces except wings. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag. Add dressing. Seal bag; turn to evenly coat chicken with dressing. Refrigerate 30 min. to marinate.

HEAT oven to 400°F. Place coating mix in pie plate or shallow dish. Dip chicken in coating mix, turning each piece over to evenly coat both sides. Place in single layer on baking sheet. Sprinkle with any remaining coating mix. Discard bag and marinade.

BAKE 40 to 45 min. or until chicken is cooked through (165°F).
