Kicked Up Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl (large enough to hold the chicken pieces) whisk the buttermilk, oil, hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and about 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
• Add in sliced onion and chicken pieces; turn to coat/mix well.
• Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up 24 hours, turning occasionally (I marinaded the chicken in the morning and baked it for dinner).
• Place a cookie rack on a foil-lined 15x10-inch baking sheet (I was able to get 11 pieces of chicken on one rack).
• In a bowl mix together dry breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, thyme spice, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1-1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt salt and garlic powder.
• Remove the chicken pieces from marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off the chicken.
• Dip the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture and turn to coat completely.
• Arrange chicken (skin-side up) on rack or racks on the baking sheets.
• Let chicken stand for 30 minutes, NO more NO less!.
• Set oven to 425°F (bottom oven rack).
• Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken pieces.
• Bake until crisp, golden and cook through About 45 minutes (might take a little longer).

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.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place flour in a shallow plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Put the bread crumbs in another shallow plate or bowl and beat the eggs in another bowl.
• Dredge the chicken piece by piece in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs, until all pieces are coated. Pour the oil into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Add the chicken to the dish and sprinkle with paprika to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then turn pieces over and bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Melt butter in 15x10x1-inch pan in oven.
• In shallow dish, mix flour, paprika, salt and pepper. Coat chicken with flour mixture. Place chicken, skin sides down, in pan.
• Bake uncovered 30 minutes. Turn chicken; bake about 20 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F).
