KITTENCAL'S MOIST CHEDDAR-GARLIC OVEN FRIED CHICKEN BREAST



Kittencal's Moist Cheddar-Garlic Oven Fried Chicken Breast image

This is for serious garlic lovers. The chicken bakes out so moist and tender! Grated cheese may be sprinkled on top of the breast the last 5 minutes of cooking if desired but that is optional. Double all ingredients for more than four breasts and adjust the amount of garlic to suit taste. For the coating amount you might be able to get away with 5 or maybe 6 very small chicken breasts, but I would suggest to increase the amount slightly --- to take this dish to yet another level, about 10 minutes before the cooking time is finished, drizzle the top of the chicken with a little pasta sauce, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top. Return to oven for about 10 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked and sauce is hot and cheese has melted. For a lemon-garlic flavor add in 3 tablespoons lemon juice to the melted butter/garlic mixture --- *NOTE* for a healthier alternative Smart Balance Butter Blend may be used in place of the melted butter --- you will love this chicken!

THE CRISPIEST FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE BY TASTY



The Crispiest Fried Chicken Recipe by Tasty image

We tested dozens of different methods to fried chicken and we finally found what we think is the crispiest and juiciest version. The first step is to dry brine the chicken, which is a fancy way of saying to season it overnight. This process actually helps the meat retain its moisture while frying, making it extra juicy. The next step is the double-dredge method where you dip the chicken in seasoned flour, then in buttermilk, then back in the flour before frying to get those extra crackly bits. Let us know what you think!

Provided by Tiffany Lo

Categories     Dinner

Time 5h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
2 teaspoons lemon zest, about 1 lemon
8 bones in chicken pieces, (4 drumsticks and 4 thighs)
6 cups canola oil, for frying
2 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 cup buttermilk
2 large egg whites
2 tablespoons vodka

Steps:

  • Dry brine the chicken: In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon zest.
  • Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and season with the salt mixture, evenly coating each piece.
  • Line a large resealable container with paper towels and add the seasoned chicken. Refrigerate uncovered for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • 30 minutes before frying, remove the chicken from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature.
  • Add the canola oil to a large Dutch oven and heat over medium heat until the temperature reaches 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet and set nearby.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, and salt.
  • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg whites, and vodka.
  • Working with one piece at a time, coat the dry-brined chicken in the flour mixture, then in the buttermilk mixture, then again in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Add 2-3 pieces of chicken to the hot oil and fry for 7-10 minutes, flipping once, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the exterior is golden brown and crispy. Remove from oil, transfer to the wire rack, and season with salt. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
  • Enjoy!
