The Secret to Perfectly Oven-Fried Chicken
Ingredients:
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
Buttermilk marinade (see recipe below)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tbsp onion powder
1 tbsp paprika
1 tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp salt
1/2 cup melted butter
Directions:
Start by marinating the chicken pieces in the buttermilk for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This will ensure that the chicken stays tender and juicy.
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with foil. Place a wire rack on top of the foil and lightly spray it with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, cornstarch, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, and salt. This will be the coating for the chicken.
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk and coat each piece in the flour mixture, making sure to shake off any excess.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the wire rack and drizzle melted butter over them.
Bake for 30 minutes, then flip the chicken pieces and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown and crispy.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to lock in the juices.
Buttermilk Marinade:
2 cups buttermilk
1 tbsp hot sauce
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
Pro Tips:
If you want to take your oven-fried chicken to the next level, here are a few tips to keep in mind:
For extra spicy chicken, add more cayenne pepper to the flour mixture or marinade.
Make sure to let the chicken rest after baking to ensure it stays juicy and tender.
For a crispy crust, use a wire rack to bake the chicken on. This allows air to circulate and helps prevent the chicken from getting soggy.
For a healthier option, you can use skinless chicken or remove the skin before coating with the flour mixture.
