Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

¼ cup shortening, or as needed
¼ cup butter, or as needed
½ cup vegetable oil, or as needed
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
10 crackers, or as needed, crushed
¼ cup cornmeal, or as needed
1 teaspoon dried sage
dried tarragon
½ teaspoon garlic powder
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Melt shortening and butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish in the preheating oven. Once melted, pour enough vegetable oil into the baking dish until oil is about 1/2-inch deep. Keep oil mixture in the oven while preparing remaining ingredients.
  • Beat egg and water in a shallow dish. Combine crackers, cornmeal, sage, tarragon, and garlic powder in a large resealable plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper; seal and shake bag to mix. Dip chicken thighs in egg mixture and place 2 to 3 thighs in the plastic bag; shake to coat. Repeat with remaining chicken. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side down, in preheated baking dish.

2 (8 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
