This is a very crispy, moist, and tender chicken dish without the messy frying. The oven does a great job making that crispy coating we all love.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups buttermilk
2 cups crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons peanut oil

Steps:

  • Place chicken breasts and buttermilk into a large resealable plastic bag, knead several times to coat chicken with buttermilk, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Placed crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix into a shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate flat dish. Beat egg with water in a bowl. Pour peanut oil into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
  • Remove chicken from buttermilk, shake off excess buttermilk, and discard used buttermilk marinade. Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour. Dip each floured breast in egg, then press gently into stuffing mix to coat. Place coated chicken breasts into the pan with peanut oil.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn each chicken breast over and continue baking until chicken pieces are no longer pink inside and the coating is crisp, about 25 more minutes.

CRISPY & JUICY FRIED CHICKEN



Crispy & Juicy Fried Chicken image

My husband used to complain that his coating never stayed on the chicken when he fried it. I've never had a problem with that, so now I make all the fried chicken. Ha! This chicken comes out nice & juicy with a good crispy coating. And it's so easy!

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 chicken drumsticks
4 chicken thighs
all purpose flour
poultry seasoning
garlic powder
parsley flakes
any other herbs/spices you like to use
vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Place the flour in a large ziplock bag along with the spices you choose. (I'm usually pretty generous with my spices.)
  • 2. Rinse off the chicken pieces and add to the seasoned flour bag.
  • 3. Close the ziplock without removing the extra air. (This will allow the chicken pieces to move around in the bag and get coated thoroughly) Shake until chicken is thoroughly coated.
  • 4. Pour oil into a large fry pan until you have about an inch in the pan.
  • 5. Dip your fingers in water and sprinkle some water drops into the oil. Heat the oil. You will hear it popping from the water droplets. (When it almost stops popping, it's hot enough to add the chicken)
  • 6. When the oil is ready, place your chicken pieces into the oil, and turn it down to Medium heat to reduce spattering.
  • 7. Turn the chicken pieces over at least 4 times during cooking to make sure they are evenly golden browned, cooking until done.
  • 8. Remove and place onto a plate lined with several sheets of paper towel, to absorb any remaining oil.
