Oven Fried Chicken
Description
Oven Fried Chicken uses a mix of panko, crushed cornflakes, and cornmeal for a varied, crunchy coating that bakes crisp in the oven. The chicken pieces are coated first in seasoned flour, dipped in an egg and milk mixture, then pressed firmly into the dry crumb mixture to ensure adherence. Spraying the chicken with cooking spray helps achieve a golden, crisp exterior during the 45-55 minute baking. The seasoning blend includes garlic powder, seasoned salt, paprika, and black pepper for a balanced, mildly spiced flavor. The internal temperature should reach 165°F to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. This approach provides a crispy crust and moist interior without deep frying.
This chicken is versatile for dinners and pairs well with salads, sides, or dipping sauces, making it a practical yet flavorful meal option.
Nutrition notes indicate the crumb mixture amount used varies slightly depending on coating adherence and chicken pieces.
Ingredients
- 1 chicken cut up, 3-4 pounds⅔, whole
