Fabulous Southern-Style Oven Fried Chicken image

I devised this to resolve my southern husband's taste for fried chicken with a HEALTHY, non-deep-fried version, with no wheat, milk, eggs, or processed or artificial ingredients. It's a delicious EASY recipe that works for chicken legs, thighs, or breasts. Make PLENTY in the summer to eat as is, or use leftovers for chicken SALAD!

Time 1h15m

Yield 3 plates, 3-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

10 chicken legs (or 3 chicken breasts, bone-in works just fine and is more economical than boneless)
1 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 tablespoon potato starch
2 tablespoons oats
1 pinch powdered ginger (optional)
canola oil cooking spray
1/2 cup water

Steps:

  • For moistest results soak chicken pieces in a bowl of salted water for 15 minutes before cooking.
  • Line baking tray with foil and spray lightly with oil.
  • Grind dry ingredients in coffee grinder or with pestle and mortar.
  • Pour into a bowl and add water little by little while stirring until a smooth runny paste is achieved. You may need more or less water.
  • Remove chicken from soaking water, and pat dry if necessary.
  • Dip into the rosemary coating until covered, and place on baking tray. This will seal in the juices.
  • Bake at 365º for one hour.
  • Once it's in, put your feet up for at least ten minutes, drink a glass of cold water, breathe deeply - and relax. Your chicken is safe.
  • Suggestions: Serve with brown rice and greens, or if you have cooked breasts or thighs, then serve the chicken chopped into a salad with cucumbers, roma tomatoes and red onion, topped with Chimichurri sauce - a purée of cilantro, lemon juice, olive oil, garlic and salt.

The chicken was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add more spices next time.

This recipe is a bit too complicated for me. I prefer simpler recipes.

I'm not a big fan of chicken, but this recipe changed my mind. It was so delicious and juicy.

This recipe is a great way to enjoy fried chicken without all the guilt. It's healthier than traditional fried chicken and it tastes just as good.

Not a fan of this recipe. The chicken was dry and the breading was too thick.

I've tried many oven-fried chicken recipes and this one is by far the best. It's easy to follow and the results are amazing.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken turned out crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. So flavorful. My family loved it.
