Preparation

Step 1

Chicken:
Preheat Oven 325 degrees:

In a bowl combine the milk plus the vinegar and let sit while preparing the flour.

In a large bowl combine the flour and all of the seasonings; then divide between two bowls.

Coat the chicken in the first bowl of seasoned flour; dip in the milk and finally in the second bowl of flour. Repeat this process with each piece of chicken.

Place in a baking pan and drizzle each piece of chicken with olive oil.

Bake for 55-60 minutes for a nice golden crust and until juices run clear.

Pineapple Side:
Place sliced pineapple in a bowl. In a small bowl combine the ingredients for the dressing and stir. Pour over the pineapple and gently toss.
