Oven Fried Chicken
Description
Oven Fried Chicken begins with soaking boneless, skinless chicken breast strips in buttermilk for at least an hour, which helps tenderize the meat and adds moisture. A coating mixture of all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, seasoning salt, salt, black pepper, and paprika is prepared for the breading. The chicken strips are shaken in this coating and then arranged spaced apart on a baking sheet with melted butter, which contributes to browning and crispiness during baking at 400°F. The chicken is baked about 10-12 minutes per side until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and has a golden, crispy exterior.
The dish delivers a textured crust similar to fried chicken, with a moist interior from the buttermilk soak. Serving immediately helps maintain the crispiness. This approach provides an alternative to deep-frying with less oil and cleanup.
The recipe advises spacing the chicken on the baking tray to promote crisping on all sides and to avoid sogginess.
Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- 4 chicken breast boneless, skinless, cut into 3 strips each
- 5 Tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon seasoning salt
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons paprika
Instructions
- Soak chicken in buttermilk for at least 1 hour or up to 12 hours. Preheat oven to 400 F°. Place the butter on a large baking sheet and place in the oven to melt. Once butter is melted, carefully remove the baking sheet from oven.
- Add flour, panko bread crumbs, seasoning salt, salt , pepper and paprika in a large ziplock bag. Add 3 pieces of chicken at a time and shake to coat.
- Place coated chicken strips, over the melted butter on the baking sheet. Be sure to leave spaces between each chicken strip. Bake 10 to 12 minutes, flip chicken with a pair of tongs, then bake another 10 to 12 minutes or until inside is cooked through. (165 degrees F.)
- Serve immediately and enjoy! ♥
Notes
- Ensure chicken pieces are spaced apart on the baking sheet for a crisp exterior.
