The coating also works well with skin on chicken pieces and pork chops you will need to adjust the cooking time, if using seasoned breadcrumbs then you can omit the garlic powder --- the coating amount is enough for 4 breasts but it can easily be doubled, If desired you can pound the breasts thinner with a meat mallet before coating :)

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.

Tips:

  • To achieve crispy fried chicken, use a combination of all-purpose flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper for the coating.
  • Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the coating adhere better. Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes, or up to 24 hours.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven to fry the chicken. This will allow the chicken to cook evenly and prevent overcrowding.
  • Heat the oil to 350°F (175°C) before adding the chicken. Use a thermometer to ensure the oil is at the correct temperature.
  • Fry the chicken in batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking. Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels to remove excess oil.
  • Serve the chicken hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
