GREAT SOUTHERN OVEN FRIED CHICKEN
I am a retired caterer. I have used this recipe for many years. Everyone I have served it too seems to just love it and always come back for seconds. Its one of the simplest and easiest fried chicken recipes you will ever prepare. The Ritz cracker crumbs were used many years ago as a last minute substitute for saltines. I think this was a one of my best substitutes ever. Needless to say I never used saltines again. I hope you enjoy!

BEST EVER SPICY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN - SOUTHERN
I love this chicken recipe--after messing around with oil fried chicken, I found this recipe and it's exactly what I was looking for, darn close to "real" fried chicken without the hassle of oil frying. There is marinating time, but otherwise super easy. Don't be intimidated by th amount of hot pepper sauce in the marinade, the chicken will pick up only some of the heat.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the chicken in a bowl and pour over the milk. Tip the flour and spices into a large plastic bag and add a large pinch of salt and a good grinding of pepper.
- Heat half the oil in a large frying pan. Take half of the chicken out of the milk, shake off any excess and put in the bag of seasoned flour. Hold the top closed and shake well. Lift the pieces out and shake off any excess, but don't do this too hard or you'll end up with no coating. Lower the pieces into the oil and fry on each side until golden and crisp - don't overdo it as the chicken is being baked next and will brown further. Use tongs to turn the chicken and try not to tear the coating. Transfer to a rack set in a roasting tin. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
- Bake for 30 mins until cooked - check one drumstick and one thigh with a skewer - cook for longer if you need to.

Tips:
- Use a combination of flour, cornstarch, and baking powder for the coating to ensure a crispy crust.
- Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper before dredging in the flour mixture.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven with high sides to prevent splattering.
- Heat the oil to 350°F before adding the chicken. This will help prevent the chicken from sticking to the pan.
- Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook the chicken in batches if necessary.
- Cook the chicken until it is golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Drain the chicken on paper towels before serving.
