Inside-Out "Fried" Chicken

Vegetable oil
Cooking spray
8 pieces skinless bone-in chicken, breasts, thighs or drumsticks
1 cup canola oil
1 cup seasoned dried breadcrumbs
1 cup yellow cornmeal
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
Garlic powder, optional
Cayenne, optional

Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a large sheet pan with cooking spray.

Place the chicken in a bowl large enough to hold all of it. Pour the oil over the chicken and rub it into all pieces. Set aside.

Combine the breadcrumbs, cornmeal and seasonings in a separate large bowl. Dredge the chicken through the breadcrumb mixture. Arrange the chicken on a prepared pan so the pieces don't touch. Bake about 40 minutes, turning once halfway through the cooking. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165 degrees F. Serve hot.
