 Oven Fried Chicken | Status Approved | | Name |  Oven Fried Chicken | | Category | Poultry | | Serves/Yields | 3 to 4 | | Source | Kate's Own | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 minutes | | Cook Time | 30 minutes | | Introduction | | I love fried chicken but hate the mess and all the fat of frying . Legs and thighs prepared this way lose a great deal of their fat during cooking, which helps develop a great carmelized crust on the chicken. | | Ingredients | | 6 to 8 chicken pieces (dark meat works especially well) rinsed and seasoned with garlic_salt and onion_powder .or your choice of seasonings. Season lightly as the flour mixture has salt in it.
Flour Mixture
1 cup all_purpose_flour
1/2 tsp sea_salt
1 tsp paprika ( Smoked Paprika works especially well)
1/2 tsp white_pepper (my preference)
1 tsp poultry_seasoning
1 teaspoon onion_powder
| | Directions | | Step: 1 | Combine flour mixture in a bowl or gallon zip lock baggie*. Coat chicken pieces in the flour mixture.
* I store any unused flour mixture in the freezer for next time. | | Step: 2 | Let the pieces sit on a plate for a bit until the flour is a bit sticky and moist and then coat again in the flour.
Place chicken pieces on a baking sheet or in a heavy cast iron skillet that has been sprayed with non stick coating. | | Step: 3 | Bake at 425 for about 30 minutes, or until crispy golden and tender.
| | Step: 4 | If you want gravy with your chicken, after removing the chicken from the pan, pour off a little of the fat, leaving about 3 tablespoons in the pan. Add about 2 heaping tablespoons flour to the fat and stir over med heat to brown the flour(This is a roux). Add salt and black pepper. Slowly pour in 3 cups of milk, stirring well. Bring to a boil and cook until thick, adding more milk if to thick. Taste and adjust seasonings. I put quite a bit of pepper in my cream gravy for a nice little bite. | | Nutrition Information | | Not Available |

(User Info | Send a Message) | | I found this recipe by Kate Dols on YummyFood.net for Oven-Fried chicken that I was able to make in a jiffy! It's greatest appeal was of course, the flavor and "Fried" CRISPY texture (my husband did not have a clue!!!); but not having to clean up a grease-splattered stove and burner and the total lack of "Fried Food Foul Odor" in my home were almost as DELICIOUS as this Chicken!!!! Recently diagnosed with CHF, I am to avoid ALL fried foods for the rest of my life, and boy-oh-boy! I thought it was going to be a fairly miserable existence from now on....I am so HAPPILY WRONG! I cannot wait to try this method with my locally-caught South Central Florida Grouper next week!!! |
