Un-fried Chicken

6 skinless chicken drumsticks

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

3 1/2 cups ice water

1 cup plain non-fat yoghurt

1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon Old Bay seasoning

1/2 teaspoon Creole seasoning

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Dash of cayenne pepper

1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

1/2 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Grease a baking sheet with non-stick spray.
Put the chicken into a large bowl with the ice water.
Put the yoghurt into a medium bowl.
Set both bowls aside.
Toss all the breading ingredients in a large zip-type bag. Seal and shake well to mix.
Remove 2 pieces of chicken from the ice water and blot dry.
Roll each piece in the yoghurt, then toss them in the bag of crumbs to coat.
Transfer the chicken to the baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
Spray the chicken lightly with cooking spray.
Place the sheet on the bottom rack of the oven and bake for 1 hour, turning the pieces every 20 minutes to allow even browning.
Serve hot or at room temperature.
