OVEN FRIED CHICKEN BY PAULA DEEN AND DR. OZ
I saw this prepared on the Doctor Oz TV show, when he had Paula Deen as a guest. Her challenge was to make a couple of her favorite dishes with half the fat and half the calories of the originals.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN (PAULA DEEN)
This wonderful recipe is courtesy of Paula Deen, but I have tweaked it slightly buy I adding in some extra spices to the flour mixture, use kosher salt only for this --- this recipe makes a lot so make certain that you have a large rack that will fit onto a large baking sheet --- plan ahead the chicken will need to marinate overnight, cooking time is oven time.

Steps:
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl; pour the buttermilk over and toss with hands to coat.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight.
- In a large bowl combine the flour with kosher salt and black pepper.
- Remove the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture.
- Place the coated chicken on a large platter (make certain to have all of your chicken coated before frying).
- Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1-inch and heat to 360 degrees F.
- Working in batches carefully place several pieces of chicken into the oil and fry about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven) do not crowd the pieces while frying.
- Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack 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 at 350 degrees F (set oven rack to lowest position) for about 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is no longer pink.
OVEN FRIED CHICKEN FROM PAULA DEEN
This is very delicious, and easy to make! Placing the chicken on the cooling rack is REALLY what makes it great, no need to turn them. I double the mustard/water combo, because I think this makes the chicken more moist. If they are not brown enough for you, place under broiler for a few minutes after it is baked to get a nice brown color. Also, a drizzle of melted butter before baking is a nice touch. This is from Paula Deen, hope you enjoy! I am trying to say Panko bread crumbs in the ingredients, but it will not let me. P.S. I am SO in love with Panko bread crumbs, if you have not yet tried them, please do, you will love them! : )

Steps:
- 1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, chives, mustard, and hot sauce. Remove the skin from the chicken breasts, add the chicken to the bowl, and let it soak for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 425°F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- 3. Remove the chicken from the marinade and season it with salt and pepper. Place the bread crumbs in a wide, shallow bowl. Dip the chicken into the bread crumbs and toss well to coat. Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the chicken generously with cooking spray and bake until it is just cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
Tips:
- To achieve crispy and juicy chicken, use a combination of baking powder and cornstarch in the coating.
- Enhance the flavor of the chicken by marinating it in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before coating and baking.
- Ensure the oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing the chicken inside.
- Space the chicken pieces evenly on a baking sheet to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Flip the chicken halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in tender and flavorful meat.
- Experiment with different seasonings and spices in the coating mixture to create a unique and personalized flavor profile for your oven-fried chicken.
