**Crispy, juicy, and flavorful oven-fried chicken made easy!**
This oven-fried chicken recipe is a healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken, without sacrificing any of the taste. It's made with a simple breading made from flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt and pepper. The chicken is then baked in the oven until it's golden brown and crispy on the outside, and juicy and tender on the inside.
This recipe also includes two dipping sauces: a classic buttermilk ranch dressing and a spicy buffalo sauce. The ranch dressing is made with mayonnaise, buttermilk, sour cream, dill, chives, and garlic powder. The buffalo sauce is made with cayenne pepper, vinegar, butter, and Worcestershire sauce.
Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a party-pleasing appetizer, this oven-fried chicken is sure to be a hit. Serve it with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
**Recipe variations:**
* For a spicier chicken, add 1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper to the breading.
* For a cheesy chicken, sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken before baking.
* For a healthier chicken, use whole-wheat flour instead of all-purpose flour.
* For a gluten-free chicken, use a gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.

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.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 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.
- Add enough oil to a large skillet so that it thickly coats the bottom; heat over medium-high heat until sizzling but not smoking. 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).

I'm too lazy to fry chicken the traditional way. I've experimented with chili powder, Greek seasoning etc. in place of the paprika or poultry seasoning. Try what you like.
