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 degrees F.
- 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 F 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 F 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.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN YOUR WAY
I came up with this recipe not too long ago, and I just love it. Every time I've made it, I've used a different seasoning mix -- which is why I've called it "Your Way". I recommend serving it with roasted potatoes (get them in the oven before you even start breading the chicken) -- toss raw potato chunks with olive oil, kosher salt and the same spice blend you use with the chicken (roast for about 45 minutes). Yum!

Steps:
- This recipe is called Your Way because you can use any spice blend you want for seasoning; McCormicks Greek Seasoning is excellent, as is Emeril's Essence; make your own up if you want.
- In a flat dish like a pie plate, combine buttermilk and spice blend.
- Or, if making this up early in the day, combine in a large ziploc bag instead, so chicken can marinate for a few hours in the fridge.
- Combine breadcrumbs, salt and parmesan in another flat dish; set aside if you want chicken to marinate in fridge for a few hours.
- Cut chicken breasts into large chunks.
- If you are making this up early in the day, place chicken pieces into the ziploc bag along with the buttermilk mixture and close bag tightly; make sure all pieces of chicken are coated with buttermilk mixture; let sit in fridge until ready to coat.
- If you don't have time for this, just dip chicken chunks into buttermilk mixture, making sure pieces are thoroughly coated.
- Preheat oven to 400F; have ready a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick cooking spray or lined with parchment paper.
- After chicken is coated with buttermilk mixture, dredge in breadcrumb mixture thoroughly, then place on prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is just cooked through.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil-lined baking sheet. Coat the rack generously with cooking spray.
- 2. Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon resealable plastic bag. Add the oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, cayenne, and paprika and toss to mix thoroughly.
- 3. Whisk the light mayonnaise and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add the chicken to the mayonnaise and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated. Place coated pieces on the prepared rack.
- 4. Mist the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray. Bake until the coating crisps and browns and an instant-read thermometer inserted in the thickest part of the pieces registers 160 degrees F, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

- Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin fillets. Place chicken in a resealable zip-top bag with buttermilk, Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and shake to blend ingredients and evenly coat the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

- Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Dip chicken in the breading mixture until well and evenly coated on both sides. Discard the remaining marinade.

Place 2 chicken fillets in the skillet so they fit comfortably; do not overcrowd. Fry until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain chicken on paper towels and repeat, adding more oil as necessary, to fry remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
- Finish chicken breasts in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN
You'll swear this chicken, lower in fat and calories but still crunchy and delicious, was made in the frying pan. Using skinless chicken lowers the fat content by almost half and the calories by about a third. Whole-wheat breading adds a little fiber to an already-healthier oven-fried chicken.

Steps:
- Using a paper towel to grip, remove skin from chicken. In a large bowl, toss chicken with buttermilk, garlic, 2 teaspoons salt, and teaspoon pepper. Marinate at room temperature 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to overnight).
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In a food processor, pulse bread until coarse crumbs form. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and toss with oil. Bake crumbs until golden brown, 8 to 12 minutes, tossing twice. Transfer to a large bowl. Set a wire rack over sheet.
- Working with one piece at a time, lift chicken from buttermilk mixture (letting excess drip off) and dredge in breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere. Transfer chicken to rack.
- Bake, without turning, until cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes, tenting with foil if browning too quickly.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN THE BAREFOOT CONTESSA WAY
Ina does it again, this is simply delicious! This is a nice combo of frying and oven cooking. The key is the temperature of the oil and not to crowd the pan when frying. I add 1T. onion powder, 1T. garlic powder, 1tsp. cayenne & 1tsp. paprika to the flour & some Tabasco to the buttermilk. So I cut down on the salt and pepper, use your judgement. Instead of the bowl, I use a food-safe storage bag to shake the chicken pieces in the seasoned flour mixture, then let the chicken stand about 20 minutes after coating it in the flour. It is crunchy on the outside, and moist on the inside, so yummy!. This is adapted from Food Network, Paula Deen. Hope you enjoy!

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy coating, ensure that the chicken pieces are dry before applying the breading mixture.
- For a flavorful crust, use a combination of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
- To prevent the chicken from sticking to the baking sheet, use a parchment paper liner or lightly grease the sheet with cooking spray.
- Preheat the oven to the desired temperature before placing the chicken inside. This helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from drying out.
- Bake the chicken for the recommended time, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) as measured by a meat thermometer.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken.
Conclusion:
Oven-fried chicken is a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken, and it can be just as crispy and flavorful. With a few simple tips and tricks, you can easily make delicious oven-fried chicken at home. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables, for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
