THE KITCHEN MAGPIE'S CRISPY OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a medium sized bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together.
• Grease a baking sheet really well and set aside.
• Beat the eggs and place in a small bowl. Line up your bowls and your baking sheet in this order from right to left; egg, flour, then baking sheet. This will make sense once you start dipping, for a messy cook like me, I have to try and keep things clean once in a blue moon.
• First, dip your chicken into the flour mixture and cover it completely.
• Then go to the egg mixture, and cover it again completely, this time with egg.
• Back to the flour mixture to cover it completely again, trying not to disturb the two other layers you just did.
• Place the chicken on the baking sheet, and repeat with all the pieces of chicken until they are all done. Now it is time to put them into the fridge and let them sit for 30 minutes. DO NOT skip this part, it helps the layers adhere to not only the chicken, but themselves. And make sure you let the chicken sit in the fridge, in the cold.
• After the 30 minutes, melt the margarine and pour over the chicken pieces.
• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes until the breast meat reaches 165 °F and the thigh meat is 180 °F.
• Remove and serve!

BONNIE'S BEST OVEN BAKED FRIES AND POTATO WEDGES

Steps:

• 1. OVEN: Heat oven to 450 degrees. Baking time is 35 minutes. No need to turn the fries! MAKING OVEN FRIES: Spray a foil-lined baking sheet with cooking spray if you are using a regular cookie sheet. I use an Aire Gourmet baking sheet, and if you like these fries, it is worth the investment of buying one. Because olive oil does not smoke at high temperatures when using this baking sheet, and the fries are a gorgeous golden brown. (I prefer to use parchment paper, which I don't grease, and it makes the removal of the fries a snap to prepare from oven to serving bowl.)
• 2. Soak the cut potatoes in ice water for at least 30 minutes. Don't skip this step as it makes them crisp.
• 3. Blot cut potatoes on a clean tea towel to remove moisture.
• 4. Combine all dry ingredients in a plastic bag.
• 5. Add potatoes tossing and kneading lightly to coat.
• 6. Drizzle with one tablespoon of olive oil. Tossing and kneading again to coat.
• 7. Arrange potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
• 8. Bake for 35 minutes or until golden brown. No need to turn potatoes during cooking. Be sure to check them often to see how they are doing. Remove any potatoes into a paper towel-lined bowl that get done early so they don't get overdone. I also like to use parchment paper for easy cleanup! Enjoy!
• 9. Here is how they look!
• 10. MAKING POTATO WEDGES: Prepare your potatoes as you would for oven fries, except cut your potatoes into wedges and, follow the rest of the steps in the recipe. When it comes time to bake the wedges, put them on parchment paper to bake and allow a few minutes extra to make sure they are done. No need to turn during baking. Enjoy!
• 11. Cook's Tip: Don't throw out the leftover fries, or wedges! Wrap them in tinfoil and refrigerate. Leftover fries and wedges make great tasting eggs! Here is how I make mine. Chop up the leftover fries or wedges and lightly brown them in a little olive oil, turn them over and grate a little cheese over the hot potatoes. I use about 1 tablespoon sharp cheddar. Push the potatoes to the side of the skillet and add two eggs, scramble them and gently fold into the potatoes, cook a minute and flip them over, cook one minute more and turn out onto a plate. Add salt and pepper if desired. Good eating! Enjoy!
• 12. Update! Newest Version: When I am in a hurry, and we need potatoes really fast for a meal, I zap a large potato with peeling on in the microwave until almost done, then I cut it into chunks. I use a cast iron skillet and put olive oil in it, not much, put in the taters and season them with the same seasonings as the fries (except the Parmesan cheese because it scorches). As soon as they are nicely browned, I remove them to a stainless steel bowl (it keeps them hot) and toss them with the Parmesan cheese. Voila! You have delicious "roasted" potatoes with your meal. Great with bacon and eggs, too!

THE BEST BAKED SWEET POTATO FRIES

Steps:

• Slice your sweet potatoes into long, thin strips, about 1/4-inch wide. It's important that the fries are uniformly sized for even cooking. Add the fries to a large bowl of cold water and soak for at least 30 minutes (or up to overnight).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet (or two medium baking sheets*) with parchment paper, or mist with cooking spray. Set aside.
• Drain the fries, rinse out and dry your bowl of water, then blot dry the fries with a clean towel.
• Add the fries back to the clean bowl.* Then drizzle evenly with the olive oil, and toss until they are evenly coated.
• In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika and black pepper until combined. Sprinkle the mixture evenly over the bowl of fries, then toss until the fries are evenly coated and the cornstarch has soaked into the oil.
• Spread the fries out in an even layer on the prepared baking sheet. Be sure that the fries aren't overlapping, or else they will not cook evenly.
• Bake for 15 minutes. Then remove pan from oven, and take the time to flip each fry with a spatula. Rearrange so that the fries are evenly spaced and not overlapping again. Then bake for 10-15 more minutes, or until the fries are crispy and have begun to brown a bit on the tips.
• Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack, sprinkle with your desired amount of salt, then let the fries rest for 5 minutes. Serve warm.

THE BEST OVEN-BAKED FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F/230°C. Line two rimmed baking sheet pans (commercial grade half-sheet pans) with parchment paper and lightly coat with nonstick spray.
• Peel potatoes and cut into 3/8 inch (1 cm) slabs lengthwise, then stack a few slabs at a time and cut into classic French fry shapes 3/8 inch (1 cm) wide. Place potatoes in bowl, drizzle with oil and toss to coat well. Sprinkle lightly with salt (you can add more after, if you like) and toss again to coat evenly.
• Scatter the fries on both pans, spacing evenly so that none are touching one another; don't get lazy here or you will end up with flaccid fries. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the bottoms of the fries are golden, then flip fries over and continue to bake for about 12 to 15 minutes more or until fries are golden brown on both sides and crispy. Serve immediately with extra salt, ketchup or check out our variations.

BEST EVER OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil.
• While you're waiting for the water to boil, slice the potatoes into your desired french fry shape. I like a thickness of about 1/2 inch.
• Once the water is boiling, add kosher salt 1 tbsp at a time. Taste between tbsp. Salt until the water is salty like the ocean (noticeably salty on your tongue).
• Add the potatoes to the boiling, salted water and boil for about 8 minutes, until fries are just fork tender but not falling apart.
• Strain and rinse with cold water. Lay out paper towels. Set the potatoes on top of the paper towels and pat dry with additional paper towels.
• Once dry, add the potatoes to a rimmed baking sheet. Toss with olive oil and about 1 tsp kosher salt.
• Bake for 15 minutes, flip the fries, and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

CRISPY BAKED FRENCH FRIES - FRESH OR FROZEN

Steps:

• Start with a couple of medium russet potatoes (about one pound). That will make four servings. Preheat oven to 425° convection. If you don't have convection, you can use 450° or stay at 425°, and it will take a bit longer.
• Scrub the potatoes and if using russet potatoes, peel the potatoes. Cut your fries 1/4 to 3/8 inch thick. I suggest a mandoline, but a knife will do.
• Place in cold water in a large bowl and soak for 20 to 30 minutes.
• Drain, rinse the fries with cold water several times, place them on a paper towel and dry well.
• Dry the bowl, put fries back in, and stir with about a tablespoon of oil.
• Prepare a baking sheet with aluminum foil and a rack. Spray with PAM. Spread the fries on a prepared rack. Do not overlap, but they may touch a little. Give a light sprinkle of coarse salt.
• Bake until golden brown-about 30 minutes. Season again while still hot.
