Steps:
- Prep: Heat the oven to 410°F (210°C). Place a dark-colored (or at the very least a silver metal) roasting pan (a rimmed baking sheet works as well) in the oven to heat up.
- Prepare breading: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder and seasoning together.
- Bread the chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in the flour, coating evenly and shaking off any extra flour. Next, toss the chicken pieces in the egg mixtures. Then, dip each into the flour mix again, this time coating very well - press the breading well on the chicken to make it stick.
- Place chicken on pan: Take the baking pan out of the oven and melt the butter on it. Place the coated chicken pieces on the tray - leave enough space in between, I usually bake it in two batches.
- Oven fry: Bake for 10-12 minutes, carefully flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken pieces are). Finish by broiling the chicken until it turns golden brown and crispy.

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!

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED DIJON CHICKEN BREAST
This is my own original recipe and favorite simple way to prepare baked chicken. Dredging the chicken in flour first makes it come out deliciously crispy. It is also nice to tenderize the meat, though not completely necessary. I usually serve it with rice pilaf and some vegetables, or on a sandwich with lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise.

Steps:
- Stir together flour, tarragon, salt, ginger, pepper, mustard powder, thyme, garlic powder, and oregano in a shallow bowl until well blended.

Set breasts aside to rest for 10 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the chicken breasts in flour again, and shake off excess. Brown the chicken in the hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

Tips:
- Use a buttermilk marinade: Buttermilk helps to tenderize the chicken and adds a subtle tang. You can use store-bought buttermilk or make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk. Let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the chicken its crispy coating. You can use a simple breading made with flour, salt, and pepper, or you can get creative and add herbs, spices, or even grated Parmesan cheese.
- Preheat your oven: Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before you start cooking the chicken. This will help to ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Give the chicken pieces plenty of space on the baking sheet so that they can cook evenly. If the chicken pieces are too close together, they will steam instead of fry.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy: The chicken is done cooking when it is golden brown and crispy. You can check the chicken by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by the whole family. By following these tips, you can make oven-fried chicken that is crispy, juicy, and flavorful. So what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try!
