Oven-fried chicken... - Ron - 03-26-2007 Is there a recipe for oven-fried chicken that tastes decent? I looked at the C@H version and didn't want to mess with beating egg whites, etc. The other recipes I've tried were always drier than I'd like. I don't want a recipe that starts in oil on the stove and finishes in the oven, just a straight oven version. Re: Oven-fried chicken... - madmax - 03-26-2007 OK Now I've got to reply to this...PPLLLEEZZZEEEE try "cjs" "Cold oil fried chicken" I swear you will not regret it, it's just amazing how good this is, sure it's kinda thinking out-side the box, but DANG it's so good . and it's just as good when it's cold !!!! Re: Oven-fried chicken... - Ron - 03-26-2007 I've got the C@H Southern Fried Chicken down cold, but I'd really like to have a recipe without the cooking oil. Oven-fried or oven-baked is what I'm looking for - crisp, flavorful skin and moist inside. Re: Oven-fried chicken... - pjcooks - 03-26-2007 Here's Jean's recipe, from a recent post. Hope you don't mind me copying into this thread. Jean's . COLD OIL CHICKEN Got this Recipe in the 70s ~ Willow Glen days 2/3 cup flour 1 tsp each: garlic salt & seasoned salt 1/2 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp each: pepper, rubbed sage, thyme leaves, & dried basil 3 cup oil (approx.) Chicken pieces In a bag, combine all the seasonings. In a deep electric frying pan, pour in 1/2" of oil. Shake each piece of Chicken in flour mixture & place skin side down in the cold oil. Cover the pan & turn to 350°. When you hear the chicken frying & sizzling loudly, set a timer & cook for 15 min. Remove cover & turn pieces over. Cook, uncovered for 10 min. longer or till meat next to bone is done. I've used other pans, but really prefer the electric skillet - it is so precise. DARE YA ALL.....

But, Ron's looking for a healthy oven-fried. O.K. Ron - here's one that my family (well maybe except madmax!!! ) thinks is the best in the world. * Exported from MasterCook * OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN chicken pieces 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese -- grated 1/4 cup whole wheat flour 1 teaspoon paprika 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 Dash pepper 1 egg -- slightly beaten 2 T. milk Rinse chicken; pat dry. In a plastic bag combine all but egg & milk. combine the egg & milk in a shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg mix.; place chicken 2-3 pcs. at a time in plastic bag. Shake to coat. Place chicken, skin side up in an oven proof pan . Bake 375 for 35 to 45 min. or till Chicken reaches 160°. Chicken can be eaten hot or cold - either way, it's delicious! Re: Oven-fried chicken... - Ron - 03-26-2007 That last one is getting more to where I wanted to be, but could I use APF instead of whole wheat flour? I don't do much baking. Interestingly, I received a complimentary copy of Cook's Country today and they have an oven-fried chicken recipe in there that also looks worth trying (buttermilk marinade, corn flake crust). Re: Oven-fried chicken... - Mare749 - 03-26-2007 Thanks Jean, I forgot that you gave me that recipe already, I just had not tried it yet. Sounds good, but since I'm not wild about wheat flour, I would rather use white also. Do you use any oil at all, even a small amount on the baking sheet? Maryann Re: Oven-fried chicken... - foodfiend - 03-26-2007 This one is our favorite. I use the chipotle pepper and I also bake it on a rack (sprayed with cooking spray) to keep the bottom of the pieces from getting soggy. Also, I absolutely hate recipes that directs to use plastic bags to marinate or flour. Such a waste... I marinate in a large plastic container (w/ cover) and flour in a paper bag: Oven Fried Chicken Source: Cooking Light April 2002 Marinating in buttermilk results in tender, juicy chicken, and double breading gives a crisp crust. For a smoky taste, use ground chipotle pepper in place of the ground red pepper. 3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk 2 chicken breast(about 1 pound), skinned 2 chicken drumsticks (about 1/2 pound), skinned 2 chicken thighs (about 1/2 pound), skinned 1/2 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper 1/4 teaspoon white pepper 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin Cooking spray Combine first 4 ingredients in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal. Marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally. Preheat oven to 450°. Combine flour, salt, peppers, and cumin in a second large zip-top plastic bag. Remove chicken from first bag, discarding marinade. Add chicken, one piece at a time, to flour mixture, shaking bag to coat chicken. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess flour; lightly coat each chicken piece with cooking spray. Return chicken, one piece at a time, to flour mixture, shaking bag to coat chicken. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess flour. Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 450° for 35 minutes or until done, turning after 20 minutes.

I'll have to get out my old copies of Cooking Light. I subscribed to it for a couple of years and have several cookbooks on my mastercook program, but have gotten away from the "lighter" lifestyle. We need to work our way toward that again. Maryann |
