Oven-Fried Chicken
We are all very health-conscious (now), so this recipe removes the skin and bakes the chicken in the oven instead of frying this dish. Here is another way to try this American dish.
Ingredients:
· 12 chicken
pieces (thighs and drumsticks) with bones, skin removed
·
1 cup buttermilk
·
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
·
3 tablespoons hot sauce (Frank’s)
·
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
·
2 garlic cloves, minced
·
2 cup dry breadcrumbs (I used half panko, half regular)
·
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
·
1/4 cup all purpose flour
·
1/2 teaspoon paprika
·
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Directions:
·
In a gallon bag, combine buttermilk, oil,
hot sauce, mustard, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
Squeeze to
mix and coat chicken. Chill at least 3 hours (or up to 1 day), squeezing
chicken bag occasionally.

· Preheat oven to 425°F. Place 2 'cooling' racks on 2 large rimmed baking sheets.
(I was not at my home, so skipped this
step – do NOT skip it. It’s what will make the underside of your chicken crispy
as well as the top.)
Whisk 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 racks on baking sheets.
Bake until crisp,
golden and cooked through, about 50 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
