Steps:
- Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1-inch and heat to 360 degrees F on a thermometer.
- Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set 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 for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

Steps:
- In one medium bowl, mix together 3 cups of flour, garlic salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, paprika and poultry seasoning. In a separate bowl, stir together 1 1/3 cups flour, salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, egg yolks and beer. You may need to thin with additional beer if the batter is too thick.
- Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Moisten each piece of chicken with a little water, then dip in the dry mix. Shake off excess and dip in the wet mix, then dip in the dry mix once more.
- Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil. Fry for 15 to 18 minutes, or until well browned. Smaller pieces will not take as long. Large pieces may take longer. Remove and drain on paper towels before serving.

Tips:
- To achieve a crispy coating, ensure the chicken pieces are dry before dipping them in the egg mixture and coating them in the seasoned flour mixture.
- Use a combination of spices and herbs in the flour mixture to enhance the flavor of the chicken. Paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper are classic seasonings that work well.
- To create a golden brown crust, use a combination of melted butter and olive oil for frying. This combination helps the chicken cook evenly and prevents it from burning.
- Adjust the cooking time depending on the thickness of the chicken pieces. Thicker pieces may require a longer cooking time to ensure they are cooked thoroughly.
- Serve the oven-fried chicken immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular choices include ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Conclusion:
This tater-dipped oven-fried chicken recipe offers a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. By using a combination of tater tots, flour, and seasonings, you can create a crispy coating that's packed with flavor. Baking the chicken in the oven instead of frying it reduces the fat content while still delivering a satisfying crunch. Whether you're looking for a weeknight meal or a party appetizer, this oven-fried chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone.
