Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

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 flavorful marinade: The marinade helps infuse the chicken with flavor and moisture. Use a mixture of herbs, spices, and liquids like buttermilk or olive oil. Yogurt or lemon juice can also be used.

Use a high oven temperature: This will help create a crispy outer layer while keeping the inside of the chicken moist and juicy.

Use a wire rack: Placing the chicken on a wire rack allows the air to circulate evenly, resulting in a crispy and evenly cooked chicken.

Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure there is enough space between each piece of chicken so that the air can circulate properly.

Flip the chicken halfway through cooking: This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly on both sides.

Use a meat thermometer: Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken to make sure it has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This ensures that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.

Conclusion:

These oven-fried chicken recipes provide a healthier and more convenient alternative to traditional fried chicken. By using an oven instead of a deep fryer, you can achieve a crispy and flavorful coating without the added fat and calories. Experiment with different marinades, seasonings, and coatings to create your own unique oven-fried chicken that the whole family will enjoy. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special dish for a party, these recipes have you covered.
