Here's the recipe for the aforementioned Oven-Fried Chicken:
3 lbs. chicken parts
4 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup fine yellow cornmeal
1 tsp chili powder
3/4 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp dried oregano
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan
Line a jelly-roll pan with foil. Put butter in pan and put pan in oven. Turn oven to 400°. Remove pan as soon as butter melts; don't allow it to brown.
Pour buttermilk in a bowl. Combine remaining ingredients in a plastic bag. Dip chicken pieces one or two at a time in buttermilk and drain briefly; place in bag and shake to coat with flour mixture.
Place each piece of chicken on the pan, turning to coat with melted butter, and leave skin-side-down. Bake for 25 minutes. Turn all pieces over and cook until done, another 25–30 minutes more.
This tastes good right out of the oven or cold the next day.
Wow you are really making me hungry. I remember SHAKE and Bake! As I am a vegan now..its a no go :(

I made this last night (using all drumsticks) and kids all loved it. Thanks!

So glad it worked for you. And thanks for the reminder that I haven't made it in a while. This was the chicken that my kids inexplicably agreed "tastes like bacon," which is high praise indeed. ;-)
