Oven Fried Chicken
Description
This Oven Fried Chicken recipe begins with marinating chicken pieces in a blend of plain Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, kosher salt, and cracked black pepper. The yogurt marinade helps tenderize the meat and adds moisture. The chicken is then coated in a mix of whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, paprika, dried thyme, baking powder, salt, and pepper, which creates a crisp exterior when baked. The chicken is arranged on an oiled wire rack over a foil-lined baking sheet and lightly sprayed with olive oil before baking at 425°F. Baking times vary by cut: approximately 45-60 minutes for thighs and about 30-35 minutes for drumsticks, aiming for an internal temperature of 160°F. This method results in chicken with a crunchy crust and juicy interior, offering a baked alternative to traditional fried chicken without excess oil.
Ingredients
For the Marinade
- 1 cup yogurt plain, Greek
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper cracked
- 5-8 chicken pieces
For the Crust
- 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 teaspoon paprika sweet
- 1 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper cracked
Instructions
- Combine yogurt, mustard, garlic, pepper in a bowl, add mixture to a Ziploc bag. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat.
- Zip the bag closed, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, up to 12 hours.
- Preheat oven to 425°F
- Line a rimmed baking/cookie sheet with foil, add a wire rack and spray with olive oil (lightly)
- Blend together the flour, paprika, thyme, baking powder salt and pepper in a large Ziploc bag.
- Take the chicken out of the marinade bag, shake off excess marinade, and add a piece to the flour bag.
- Shake each piece until fully coated, then remove and shake off excess coating and place on an oiled rack set over a baking sheet.
- Repeat with remaining chicken. Throw out the remaining marinade and flour mixture.
- Lightly spray chicken with olive oil (using a mister) and bake until golden brown and when you get a reading of 160°F on a digital thermometer (test the thickest part of the meat). It will take around 45-60 minute for thighs, around 30-35 for drumsticks
- Remove from oven, and allow to cool a little.
- Devour.
