Tips:

  • Use buttermilk: Buttermilk tenderizes the chicken and helps the breading adhere. If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
  • Don't overcrowd the chicken: When frying the chicken, make sure to leave enough space between the pieces so that they can cook evenly. Overcrowding will cause the chicken to steam instead of fry.
  • Use a thermometer: The best way to ensure that the chicken is cooked through is to use a meat thermometer. Insert the thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken thigh and cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • Let the chicken rest: After frying, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.

Conclusion:

This walnut and rosemary oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The chicken is tender and juicy on the inside, with a crispy and flavorful breading on the outside.
