Categories     Main Course

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large egg
1/3 cup buttermilk (OR regular milk; see notes)
1 cup all purpose flour
4 tablespoons plain breadcrumbs (Panko or Italian seasoned work as well)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground pepper
2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast (cut into strips (I do 2-3 per breast))
1/4 cup butter (or more as needed)

Steps:

  • Prep: Heat the oven to 410°F (210°C). Place a dark-colored (or at the very least a silver metal) roasting pan (a rimmed baking sheet works as well) in the oven to heat up.
  • Prepare breading: In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. In a separate bowl, mix the flour, breadcrumbs, baking powder and seasoning together.
  • Bread the chicken: Toss the chicken pieces in the flour, coating evenly and shaking off any extra flour. Next, toss the chicken pieces in the egg mixtures. Then, dip each into the flour mix again, this time coating very well - press the breading well on the chicken to make it stick.
  • Place chicken on pan: Take the baking pan out of the oven and melt the butter on it. Place the coated chicken pieces on the tray - leave enough space in between, I usually bake it in two batches.
  • Oven fry: Bake for 10-12 minutes, carefully flip and bake for another 5-10 minutes (depending on how thick your chicken pieces are). Finish by broiling the chicken until it turns golden brown and crispy.

LINDY BOGGS'S OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN



Lindy Boggs's Oven-Fried Chicken image

Lindy Boggs, who represented New Orleans in Congress for 18 years, was as astute in the kitchen as she was in politics, and deployed the knowledge that she had gained growing up on a Louisiana plantation in both. Mrs. Boggs, a Democrat who championed women's economic concerns, did all the cooking for her yearly garden soirees, which were attended by more than 1,000 guests. Here is her easy recipe for oven-fried chicken, which should be for anyone afraid of stovetop frying. It is a weeknight recipe from a busy woman who cooked, and governed, with confidence and grace.

GENERAL GILBERT'S CALIFORNIA FRIED CHICKEN WITH PAN GRAVY



General Gilbert's California Fried Chicken with Pan Gravy image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups all-purpose flour
5 tablespoons seafood seasoning, such as Old Bay
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly cracked black pepper
Two 4- to 5-pound fryer chickens, cut into pieces, rinsed and patted dry
Vegetable oil, for frying
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups warm milk
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper

Steps:

  • For the fried chicken: Preheat the oven to its lowest temperature setting.
  • Mix the flour, seafood seasoning, salt and pepper in a large zip-top bag. Drop in the chicken pieces (you will probably have to do this in batches) and shake to coat.
  • Pour the oil into a deep 12-inch cast-iron skillet to a depth of 1 inch. Heat it over high heat until a drop of water bubbles. Shake any excess seasoning mix off the chicken and put it skin-side down in the skillet, in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook on one side, uncovered, for 15 minutes, then turn the chicken pieces over and fry until golden brown, about 15 minutes more. Drain the chicken on paper towels. Keep warm in the oven while you finish frying the rest of the chicken.
  • For the pan gravy: Pour off the oil, leaving approximately 3 tablespoons in the skillet, and turn the heat to medium. Add the flour while whisking, mixing in the crunchy bits and cooking for 5 minutes. Pour in the milk and bring it to a low boil, whisking constantly and cooking for another 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and serve with the fried chicken.
  • Note: This recipe differs from what was originally broadcast.

You need only a handful of ingredients for Ina Garten's Oven-Fried Chicken recipe from Barefoot Contessa on Food Network; buttermilk keeps the meat extra moist.

Provided by Ina Garten

Categories     main-dish

Time 10h55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 chickens (3 pounds each), cut in 8 serving pieces
1 quart buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil or vegetable shortening

Steps:

  • Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1-inch and heat to 360 degrees F on a thermometer.
  • Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees F before frying the next batch. When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 27

2.2 pounds chicken breast, thighs or drumsticks (1 kilogram)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more for sprinkling
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 egg
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup buttermilk (60 milliliters)
1 to 2 teaspoons hot sauce
5 cups cornflakes, finely crushed
1/4 cup honey
2 teaspoons hot sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar (60 milliliters)
1 tablespoon lemon juice (15 milliliters)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons honey (or spicy honey from above)
1/2 teaspoon celery salt, optional
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (30 milliliters)
1/4 red onion, very thinly sliced
1/2 cabbage head, such as savoy, red or Napa (about 6 cups sliced)
1 carrot
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with a baking rack. Lay out the chicken and pat each piece dry with a piece of paper towel. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper and stir well. Add the chicken pieces into the bowl and toss to coat each piece. Set aside.
  • In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg with the mayonnaise, buttermilk and hot sauce. Scatter the crushed cornflakes into a shallow dish.
  • Remove the chicken from the flour mixture one piece at a time and tap off any excess flour. Dunk and thoroughly coat the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then roll and press into the cornflake crumbs. Place the chicken onto the rack-lined baking sheet and continue until all of the chicken is coated, making sure to leave space between each piece.
  • Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes for chicken breasts or thighs and 30 to 40 minutes for drumsticks. Season the chicken immediately with kosher salt and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
  • For the spicy honey: Combine the honey, hot sauce and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container to store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
  • For the slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, celery salt and oil in a large bowl. Stir in the onion.
  • Thinly slice the cabbage and shred the carrot on the large side of a box grater. Then add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix very well to combine.
  • Serve the chicken with the spicy honey and slaw.
