Best 7 Amys Fried Chicken Tenders Recipes

EASY FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Be sure that chicken is thawed completely, drained, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Fill a dutch oven or heavy stock pot with at least 4 inches of oil, preferably 6". Heat the oil until it reaches 350°F (this will take 15 minutes or so) Get the oil heating while preparing the chicken.
• In a bowl, whisk together buttermilk and hot sauce. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, pepper, paprika, and onion powder in a shallow bowl or on a sheet of parchment paper.
• Dip each side of the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, then dip into the buttermilk mixture and back into the flour mixture. For extra breading, repeat this process one more time.
• Carefully drop one chicken piece at a time into heated oil and fry until cooked through (the center should reach 165°F). The outside should be deep golden brown and crispy. Maintain an oil temperature of 350°F for best results. The chicken tenders will cook through in about 5 minutes. I've found that as long as the oil temperature is maintained correctly, the chicken will be cooked by the time the breading is a deep golden brown.
• Place cooked chicken on paper towels or brown paper bags to soak up excess oil.
• Serve immediately.
• Store in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Fried coating is best right after cooking. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to re-crisp the breading.

AMY'S AMAZING BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Using 2 fingers, loosen the skin on each chicken breast. Thinly slice compound butter and stuff under skin to cover as much of the chicken as possible.
• Layer onion slices on the bottom of a glass baking dish. Pour in chicken stock. Place chicken breasts on top of the onions, skin-side up. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Start basting chicken with its juices and rotate if skin is not crisping evenly. Continue baking until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 more minutes, depending on the size of the chicken breasts. Baste chicken every 5 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

• Bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes on each side, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

TONGDAK GUI (WHOLE ROASTED CHICKEN)

Steps:

• Place a gallon-size resealable plastic bag in a large bowl. To the bag, add the soy sauce, salt, sugar, white pepper and 6 cups cold tap water; stir to dissolve the salt and sugar. Nestle the Cornish game hens into the liquid, seal the bag set in the bowl and place in the refrigerator to brine for at least 8 hours and up to 48 hours.
• When ready to cook, heat the oven to 350 degrees. Drain the hens in the sink and pat very dry with a clean towel (the drier the hen, the crispier the skin). Using your hands, massage the olive oil all over the birds and place on a sheet pan, breast side up. Roast, rotating the pan halfway through, until golden brown and the legs, when jostled, feel like they're about to fall off (a sign that the meat is tender and cooked through), about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, toss the scallions with the rice vinegar and a pinch of salt and sugar to taste. To serve, top each roasted hen with a mound of the scallion garnish and enjoy with steamed white rice and yangnyeom sauce (if using), for dipping.
