Cook's Notes
By eliminating the oil in traditional deep frying we get a recipe the family loves and is practically fat free! Serve with fat-free ranch or blue cheese dressing and more Frank's for dipping! Be sure to remove skin from chicken so you don't waste all the seasoning in the dry ingredients when you're eating it.
