Old Bay Seasoned Fried Chicken Breasts Recipes

Steps:

• In a bowl large enough to hold chicken, mix together brine ingredients.
• Pierce chicken pieces several times with fork so brine can soak into chicken.
• Place chicken into brine and refrigerate for at least 2 hours( overnight would be better).
• Combine egg and milk, set aside.
• After soaking, mix together Coating Mixture ingredients and dip both sides of chicken into mixture.
• Preheat oil in skillet over medium heat.
• Then dip chicken into egg/milk mixture.
• Coat again in Coating Mixture.
• Fry until desired doneness is reached, about 6 to 8 minutes for each side.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix flour, seafood seasoning, and salt in a large resealable plastic bag; place chicken breasts in bag, seal, and shake to coat chicken with seasoned flour. Place chicken into a roasting pan and spray with cooking spray.
• Bake in the preheated oven until browned and an instant-read meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a breast reads at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C), 35 to 40 minutes.
• Mix hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and unsalted butter in a large bowl. Toss baked chicken breasts in hot pepper mixture to coat; serve.

Steps:

• Wash Chicken and pat dry
• Mix Flour and Old Bay seasoning in large plastic bag.
• Begin heating Cooking Oil in a large skillet.
• Mix Egg and Water in bowl.
• Dip several Chicken pieces at a time in Egg mixture and shake in Flour mixture.
• Fry over medium high heat, 15-20 minutes per side (depending on the size of pieces).
• For more flavor, sprinkle a little more Old Bay Seasoning over finished chicken pieces.

Steps:

• Chicken:
• Heat salt, brown sugar, and 4 cups water in a large pot over medium, whisking, until salt and sugar dissolve, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in hot sauce and 8 cups ice water. Add chicken to brine, cover, and chill 4 hours.
• Combine 2 cups flour and 3 tablespoons Old Bay seasoning in a shallow baking dish and toss with your fingers to evenly distribute seasoning. Place buttermilk in a medium bowl. Remove chicken from brine and pat dry with paper towels.
• Working one at a time, dip 8 pieces of chicken in buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, then coat in flour mixture, packing all around chicken and pressing firmly into cracks and crevices; shake off excess. Place chicken on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Discard flour mixture, which will be wet at this point, and repeat process with remaining flour, Old Bay, buttermilk, and chicken; place on another wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Chill, uncovered, 12-24 hours.
• Glaze and assembly:
• Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes.
• Heat lard, Old Bay, paprika, and cayenne in a small saucepan over low, stirring, until lard is melted, about 3 minutes. Set glaze aside.
• Pour oil into a large pot fitted with deep-fry thermometer to come halfway up the sides. Heat over medium-high until thermometer registers 325°. Working in 4 batches, fry chicken, turning often with tongs and adjusting heat to maintain temperature, until skin is deep golden brown and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of chicken registers 165° for dark meat and 160° for white meat, 10-12 minutes per batch. Transfer chicken back to wire racks and let rest 5 minutes. Brush lightly with glaze (reheat glaze, if needed) and let cool. Store on racks at room temperature up to 3 hours ahead.
