EATINGWELL'S OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN



Eatingwell's Oven-Fried Chicken image

My husband misses fried chicken....we're closely watching what he eats due to his heart problem. I found this recipe in EatingWell magazine and prepared it tonight. He was so happy! I changed a few things....the original called for just chicken legs but I used a whole, cut up fryer, with all skin and fat removed, and so I doubled the flour mixture. We had this with oven baked fries and string beans for a great meal. I'm not adding the marinading time to the prep time because you can marinate from 30 minutes to 8 hours, your choice!

SOUTHERN-STYLE OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN



Southern-Style Oven-Fried Chicken image

A blend of dried spices gives the crispy panko coating on these oven-fried chicken thighs plenty of flavor, and marinating the chicken in buttermilk makes it moist and juicy. If you don't have an oven-safe skillet, you can roast the chicken in a baking dish in Step 5. Serve with your favorite vegetables (bake them alongside the chicken to make it easy) for a healthy comfort food dinner that requires just 20 minutes of active prep time.

Categories     Baked Chicken Thigh Recipes

Time 2h45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups nonfat buttermilk
¾ teaspoon salt, divided
4 bone-in, skinless chicken thighs (about 1 1/2 lbs. total)
¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon cornstarch
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
3 tablespoons canola oil, divided

Steps:

  • Combine buttermilk and 1/2 tsp. salt in a large bowl. Add chicken; toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or up to 8 hours.
  • When ready to cook, preheat oven to 475 degrees F.
  • Combine panko, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne, and ground pepper in a shallow dish. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting excess drip off, and dredge it in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Gently shake off excess breading; transfer the chicken to a plate and sprinkle evenly with the remaining 1/4 tsp. salt.
  • Heat 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil in a large cast-iron or oven-safe nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken to the pan, tilting as needed so each piece comes in contact with the oil; cook until browned on the bottom, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken, browned-side down, to a wire rack set over a baking sheet.
  • Add the remaining 1 1/2 Tbsp. oil to the pan; cook until heated, about 1 minute.
  • Return the chicken, browned-side up, to the pan, tilting as needed so each piece comes in contact with the oil. Transfer the pan to the oven (or use a baking dish). Bake until an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part registers 165 degrees F, 14 to 16 minutes.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN



Oven Fried Chicken image

Soaked in buttermilk overnight makes this chicken moist. The recipe calls for whole cut-up chickens but I use chicken breasts.

Provided by kvlong

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 chicken, cut in eight serving pieces (3 pounds each)
1 quart buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
vegetable oil (for browning) or vegetable shortening (for browning)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F degrees.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture.
  • Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1 inch and heat to 360 degrees on a thermometer.
  • Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces.
  • Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees before frying the next batch.
  • When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside.
  • Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality, fresh chicken: This will make all the difference in the final product. Look for chicken that is plump and has a healthy pink color.
  • Brine the chicken: This will help the chicken stay moist and juicy during cooking. You can brine the chicken in a simple saltwater solution or in a more flavorful brine made with herbs, spices, and citrus.
  • Use a good quality breading: The breading is what gives the chicken its crispy coating. Make sure to use a breading that is made with fine breadcrumbs and that is well-seasoned.
  • Preheat the oven to the correct temperature: The oven temperature will vary depending on the recipe, but it is important to preheat the oven to the correct temperature before cooking the chicken.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: If you overcrowd the baking sheet, the chicken will not cook evenly. Make sure to leave some space between the pieces of chicken so that the air can circulate.
  • Bake the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through: The cooking time will vary depending on the size and thickness of the chicken pieces. Use a meat thermometer to check that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Conclusion:

Oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By following the tips in this article, you can create oven-fried chicken that is crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
