Tonight it's Southern (kinda) Style convection oven baked chicken (with
that breading). I soaked the chicken parts in 2% milk overnight. My
cheapo side wouldn't let me buy buttermilk, cause it was only sold in
quarts and I only needed a cup of the stuff. Sidedish for the chicken
parts is grilled asparagus...I toss the trimmed asparagus in veggie oil
and salt. Put them on a hot grill and in about 3-5 minutes they're
done...Just grilled long enough to get grill marks and enough to turn to
all sides up...

Yeah I know; better with the buttermilk. But I don't like to drink it and
I have not baking projects planned.
