Top Tips for a Perfect Oven Fried Chicken Recipe
Oven fried chicken is a healthy alternative to deep fried chicken or pan fried chicken. Chicken, which is cooked in the oven, instead of in oil on the stove, comes out crispy and golden brown on the outside, tender, and juicy on the inside.
A lot of people cannot tell the difference between conventional fried chicken and oven fried chicken, so if you want to cook something tasty but with fewer calories and less fat, oven fried chicken might be a good choice.
How to Flavor Your Chicken Perfectly
You might want to try the Indian trick of soaking chicken overnight before you cook it. The Indians would use yogurt but buttermilk is great for soaking the chicken. This not only gives your chicken a wonderful flavor but the buttermilk softens the flesh, giving the chicken an amazing texture. If you like soft, tender chicken, you might like to marinate it in buttermilk overnight because the results are really good.
You might like to use seasoned flour on the chicken. Perhaps you have already tried this before, when making a country fried chicken recipe or something similar. For a plain coating, you can just use salt and pepper with the flour. For spicier results, try red pepper flakes, chili powder or cayenne pepper.
An alternative to using spices would be using herbs and you can use mixed herbs or Herbes de Provence for a special and well balanced flavor. If you prefer to use individual herbs, try marjoram, basil, rosemary or thyme. Herbs and spices can lived up any recipe, whether you are making a chicken fried steak or a casserole or stew.
Dip the chicken in beaten eggs or a combination of beaten eggs with milk if you want to add more taste. Not only does this add flavor but it gives your flour or breadcrumb coating something to stick to. Not every oven fried chicken recipe will call for eggs or milk but they do go well with most recipes.
How to Cook the Chicken
The oven fried chicken recipe will tell you how long to bake the chicken for and at what temperature to set the oven. Bear in mind, of course, that ovens vary so you should keep an eye on the chicken as it cooks. Also, if you are using small chicken pieces they might not need so long to cook. Bigger chicken pieces could take five or ten minutes longer.
When making oven fried chicken, you can either saute the chicken in a skillet on the stove before baking it or you can warm some oil in a baking pan in the oven and add the chicken to that. The heat in the oven will be similar to the heat in a skillet so the chicken will cook evenly and all the way through.
As with all chicken recipes, you should check the meat is cooked through properly before serving it. Pierce the chicken in the thickest part and check that the juices run clear. If there is any pink inside the chicken, it will require more cooking time.
Oven fried chicken makes a wonderful dinner. You can serve it with French fries, mashed potatoes or anything else you like, and your family will definitely enjoy it. Oven fried chicken is simple to make and comes out delicious every time.
