National Fried Chicken Day!

It's National Fried Chicken Day, who knew! If you're looking for a seriously amazing recipe, you cannot fail with Paula Deen's top rated recipe here on Food Network's website... 

But if you're feeling like I am (kind of sweaty—it's so hot in NYC!—and not really into smelling like fry oil on date-night), here's a recipe for our oven-baked version that I'm way into, as well.
