Heat oven to 450°. Spray nonstick cookie sheet with cooking spray. Remove chicken from egg mixture; discard egg mixture. Mix flour, baking soda and red pepper in resealable plastic bag. Add 1 chicken piece at a time. Seal bag; shake to coat chicken. Place chicken on cookie sheet; spray with cooking spray about 5 seconds or until surface of chicken appears moist.

Betty's Tip
This recipe is much easier than the traditional twice-fried Lemon Chicken. Our baked version retains the tangy lemon and garlic flavors of the original while eliminating half the fat. Serve with broccoli or broccolini, a new form of broccoli with sparse flowerets.
