THE KITCHEN MAGPIE'S CRISPY OVEN FRIED CHICKEN



The Kitchen Magpie's Crispy Oven Fried Chicken image

The Kitchen Magpie's Crispy Oven Fried Chicken - find out the secret to the most amazing oven fried chicken you will ever eat! Just look at that crispy skin! No crazy batter, either!

Provided by Karlynn Johnston

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/3 cups of flour
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons seasoning salt
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon pepper
2 or 3 eggs
1/3 cup of margarine or butter
one chicken (cut into 8 pieces (2 drumsticks, 2 thighs and the breasts cut into 4))

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 BAKED 'FRIED' CHICKEN



Crispy Baked 'Fried' Chicken image

Savor Cat Cora's Crispy Baked "Fried" Chicken recipe from Food Network Magazine: Corn flakes make it crispy, while paprika, cayenne and sage give it spice.

Provided by Cat Cora

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 chicken pieces (preferably 2 breasts, 2 thighs, 2 legs and 2 wings)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
4 cups cornflakes
2/3 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
3/4 teaspoon ground sage
Serving suggestion: Easy Greens, recipe follows

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet.
  • Rinse the chicken in cold water; pat dry. In a wide bowl or on a plate, season the flour with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each chicken piece through the flour so it's fully coated, tap against the bowl to shake off excess flour and set aside. Discard the flour.
  • Here comes the part kids like best: Crush the cornflakes by placing them in a big resealable plastic bag, carefully pressing the bag to push out the air. Seal up the bag (with as little air inside as possible) and run over the flakes with a rolling pin. Open the bag and pour the crushed flakes into a wide bowl or onto a plate.
  • In a large bowl (big enough to dredge the chicken pieces), mix the buttermilk, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika and sage. Give each floured chicken piece a good buttermilk bath and then roll in the cornflake crumbs.
  • Arrange the chicken pieces on the rack and place in the hot oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, lower the heat to 375 degrees and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. The juices should run clear when the meat is pierced with a knife. Serve with Easy Greens.

CRISPY OVEN-FRIED M-80 CHICKEN WINGS



Crispy Oven-Fried M-80 Chicken Wings image

Provided by Jeff Mauro, host of Sandwich King

Categories     main-dish

Time 9h5m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 pounds chicken wings, drums and flats (wing tips not attached)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
Nonstick cooking spray, for the rack
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup chile sambal
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and warm
1/4 cup minced hot giardiniera, drained of oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Poppy seeds, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Put the chicken in a large mixing bowl. Sprinkle the baking powder and salt over the wings and toss until the wings are coated.
  • Fit a sheet pan with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange the wings in a single layer on the rack. Leave uncovered in the fridge overnight. (This ensures super crispy skin.)
  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
  • Set a rack in a lower-middle position in the oven. Bake the wings until golden brown and crispy, rotating halfway through cooking, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • For the sauce: In a large bowl, whisk together the honey, sambal, soy sauce, vinegar and butter. Stir in the giardiniera. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Toss the hot wings with the M-80 Sauce until evenly coated. Spread out on a long dish, so there is not a lot of overlap. Top with the poppy seeds!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality chicken: Fresh, free-range chicken will give you the best results.
  • Brine the chicken: Brining the chicken in a salt and water solution helps to keep it moist and flavorful.
  • Coat the chicken evenly in the breading: Make sure to press the breading into the chicken so that it adheres well.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature: The oven temperature should be high enough to crisp the chicken without burning it.
  • Bake the chicken for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This helps to keep the chicken juicy.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can make sure that your oven-fried chicken turns out perfectly crispy and flavorful every time. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, gravy, and coleslaw, for a complete and satisfying meal.
