Caribbean-Style Fried Chicken image

Actually, fried and baked. This is easy to put together! Equally good hot from the oven or served cold at a picnic. The first time I made this I used skinless chicken and it was really delicious! From The Caribbean Cookbook by Hermes' House Publications.

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 chicken drumsticks, about 1 pound total
4 chicken thighs, about 1 pound total
2 teaspoons curry powder (homemade is best)
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika (I used smoked paprika)
1 1/4 cups milk
1 cup flour (or more)
oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Stir together the marinade and toss to coat with the chicken pieces in an ovenproof baking dish.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours but up to 12 hours. The longer it marinates, the more intense the flavor.
  • Once marinade time is completed, transfer the chicken pieces to a bowl and soak in the milk for 15-20 minutes. Transfer back to the baking dish. Discard the milk.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a large saute pan heat up a little bit of oil. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour, shake off the excess flour, and add to the heated pan. Do not crowd the pan.
  • Fry the chicken pieces until light brown but not cooked all the way through.
  • With slotted spoon, transfer the chicken pieces back to the baking dish and bake for about 35-40 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.
