Plan ahead the chicken needs to marinate for 8 hours or up to 24 hours. Although I have used 2 tablespoons Louisana hot sauce, you can add in more if desired, trust me the chicken will not be overly spicy!

2 1/2 c flour
1 Tbsp poultry seasoning
1 Tbsp basil
1 1/2 Tbsp marjoram

2 tsp dried mustard
1 1/2 Tbsp salt

2 Tbsp minced garlic dried
1 1/2 Tbsp paprika
3 eggs
1 1/2 c milk
4 Tbsp plus more canola or olive oil.

Steps:

  • 3. Place chicken thighs three at a time in a gallon size Ziploc bag. Pound the thighs open so that they are all the same thickness.

SPICY OVEN FRIED CHICKEN



Spicy Oven Fried Chicken image

This recipe is originally from Bon Appetit magazine in the 1990's. It is so delicious that I have continued to make it since I originally tried it. It's also simple to make. I marinade the chicken the night before and also make the bread crumb mixture the night before. Then when I come home from work, all I have to do is...

Provided by Jessica Dayon

Categories     Marinades

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 1/4 c buttermilk
1/4 c canola oil
3 Tbsp hot pepper sauce
2 Tbsp dijon mustard
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp salt, divided
1/2 tsp pepper
1 large onion, sliced
12 chicken tenders, or chicken breasts sliced into 12 equal pieces
1 c breadcrumbs
1/3 c grated parmesan cheese
1/4 c flour
2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
3 Tbsp butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. Combine buttermilk, oil, hot pepper sauce, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper in large zip-top plastic bag. Add onion, then chicken and mix to coat. Put the plastic bag in a bowl (to catch any leaks) in the refrigerator and marinade for at least 3 hours or up to 1 day, turning chicken occasionally.
  • 2. Combine breadcrumbs, cheese, flour, thyme, paprika, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in large baking dish to blend. Remove chicken from marinade, allowing excess to drip off. Add chicken to breadcrumb mixture and turn to coat completely. Arrange chicken on baking sheets. If desired, you can arrange the chicken on racks on baking sheets.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 425°F. Drizzle butter over chicken. Bake until crisp, golden and cooked through, about 45 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For best results, use bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or thighs. The skin helps the chicken stay moist and flavorful during baking.
  • Use a good quality breading: The breading is what gives the chicken its flavor and texture, so it's important to use a good quality breading mix. You can use a store-bought breading mix or make your own using a recipe from the internet.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: When baking the chicken, make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Bake the chicken until it's golden brown: The chicken is done baking when it's golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should be at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: Once the chicken is done baking, let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This spicy oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make recipe that's perfect for a weeknight dinner or a party. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and the spicy breading gives it a delicious flavor. Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
