First, I have to say, the name of this recipe is perfect! exactly what kids would call it. I ran into a problem not having any potato flakes, and knew the flavor was necessary, so I threw in a handful of potato chips. I know, sounds awful, but it really worked! Also added a bit of parmesan cheese. Honestly this recipe is a keeper! Chicken fried chicken! love it!

I loved this recipe just as it is.. but had to write to give a variation of this using a whole chicken with skin still on: Up the garlic to 3 bulbs, eliminate the breadcrumbs entirely, and substitute the basil for dill. Add 1/2 an onion and 1/2 a lemon with zest. I realize that this is a quite a different meal, but it was totally inspired by this one and I love crispy chicken skin (my bad)! Smear the oil/garlic/lemon+zest all over and in the chicken. Sprinkle S&P, dill, parmesan inside and out of the chicken. Cut onion in 4 and put one piece in the chicken and 3 out. Put a couple of slices of lemon in an open pan. (cast iron fry pan is great.) Bake 350 until leg turns loosely.. baste and cook 10 more minutes to crisp. yum! Thanks for the inspiration!

I actually joined allrecipes.com just to tell people how delicious this recipe is! I changed a little: Instead of boiling the ribs in water, I wrapped the spareribs in tin foil twice, and baked in the over for 1 and 1/2 hours at 350. Then drained off the excess grease, and continued as shown. Oh, and I also added 1/3 cup coconut to the marinade. Just delicious. Thank you!
