Oven Fried Chicken image

Soaked in buttermilk overnight makes this chicken moist. The recipe calls for whole cut-up chickens but I use chicken breasts.

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 chicken, cut in eight serving pieces (3 pounds each)
1 quart buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon fresh ground black pepper
vegetable oil (for browning) or vegetable shortening (for browning)

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°F degrees.
  • 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 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 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.
