Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
- Melt shortening and butter in a 9x13-inch baking dish in the preheating oven. Once melted, pour enough vegetable oil into the baking dish until oil is about 1/2-inch deep. Keep oil mixture in the oven while preparing remaining ingredients.
- Beat egg and water in a shallow dish. Combine crackers, cornmeal, sage, tarragon, and garlic powder in a large resealable plastic bag. Season with salt and pepper; seal and shake bag to mix. Dip chicken thighs in egg mixture and place 2 to 3 thighs in the plastic bag; shake to coat. Repeat with remaining chicken. Arrange chicken thighs skin-side down, in preheated baking dish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Flip chicken thighs and continue baking until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the thigh, near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

My husbands Aunt taught me how to do this, and it is fantastic. The crust turns golden brown and I love to "clean" the pan after serving!! Measurements are not exact, as it is not a science. Just use what you need!

Steps:
- 1. Heat oven to 400ºF. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray or line your cookie sheet with foil then spray foil for easier clean up. I'm all about easy clean up. :)

Tips:
- To achieve the crispiest fried chicken, ensure your chicken is dry before coating it in the flour mixture.
- For even cooking, use a baking sheet with a wire rack to allow air to circulate around the chicken.
- Make sure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before placing the chicken inside.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet, as this will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
- Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time to ensure both sides are golden brown and crispy.
- To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. It should read an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
This super easy oven-fried chicken recipe is a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. It's perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a party appetizer.
