Oven Fried Southern Style Cinnamon Honey Chicken

While watching foodtv, i saw a piece about amy ruth's restaurant in new york where the owner made fried chicken dipped in a honey cinnamon mixture. It looked so good i began searching on the web for a recipe which approximated it... And after much browsing of webpages i put together a recipe that i thought might taste something like it. I don't fry my chicken, so here's a baked version, tweaked to my own tastes.

Steps

Preheat oven to 350 degrees f.
Spray a large roasting pan lightly with cooking spray.
Combine the flour with the salt , cinnamon , turmeric , black pepper , and a pinch nutmeg.
Coat the chicken pieces well with the flour mixture.
Beat together the egg and milk.
Dredge the flour-coated chicken pieces in the egg mixture , then into the breadcrumbs.
Arrange pieces skin side up in the sprayed roasting pan , making sure that the pieces are not touching each other to ensure they bake crispy.
Spray chicken pieces with oil spray or sprinkle with 2 tablespoons oil and place the chicken in the oven to bake.
While the chicken is baking , in a saucepan over medium low heat combine the butter , honey , pinches of cinnamon , and lemon juice.
After the chicken has baked for 25 minutes , pour the butter and honey mixture generously over the pieces.
Bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the juices run clear and the chicken is crisp and brown.
