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!

Provided by Nora from Savory Nothings

Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1/3 cup buttermilk (OR regular milk; see notes)
1 cup all purpose flour
4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs (Panko or Italian seasoned work as well)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast (cut into strips (I do 2-3 per breast))
1/4 cup butter (or more as needed)

Steps:

  • Prep: Heat the oven to 410°F (210°C). Place a dark-colored (or at the very least a silver metal) roasting pan (a rimmed baking sheet works as well) in the oven to heat up.
  • Prepare breading: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder and seasoning together.
  • Bread the chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in the flour, coating evenly and shaking off any extra flour. Next, toss the chicken pieces in the egg mixtures. Then, dip each into the flour mix again, this time coating very well - press the breading well on the chicken to make it stick.
  • Place chicken on pan: Take the baking pan out of the oven and melt the butter on it. Place the coated chicken pieces on the tray - leave enough space in between, I usually bake it in two batches.
  • Oven fry: Bake for 10-12 minutes, carefully flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken pieces are). Finish by broiling the chicken until it turns golden brown and crispy.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of wet and dry ingredients: The wet ingredients, such as buttermilk and eggs, will help the chicken to stay moist and tender, while the dry ingredients, such as flour and spices, will give the chicken a crispy coating.
  • Make sure the chicken is evenly coated: Before you fry the chicken, make sure it is evenly coated with both the wet and dry ingredients. This will help to ensure that the chicken is cooked evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When you are frying the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry, and it will not be as crispy.
  • Use a meat thermometer: The best way to make sure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken, and make sure that it reads 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 above, you can make sure that your oven-fried chicken turns out crispy, juicy, and flavorful.
