Oven Fried Chicken Smothered in Onion Gravy - Gourmet_Mom - 02-09-2009
William has asked that I never make this again. He's afraid it will kill him...LOL! It was that good. But I'll have to admit, I made a few changes due to time constraint. Here goes:
Changes:
-I only brined it for 30 minutes. Next time I will brine for the whole time....only because I know it will be that much more tender. (If that's possible.)
-My baking pan was not large enough...the gravy smothered the chicken too soon and all pieces would have been much more crispy.
-I added a dash or two of cumin to the egg/milk mixture.
-I did not do the whole egg white thing, but if the "chemistry" is there, it will be even better. I just used whole eggs.
Recommendations:
-Brine longer
-Keep the cumin
-Try the egg white mixture for a crustier chicken
-Use a larger pan...I'll use my sheet pan next time.
The chicken really did fry and form a crust, even though I didn't use the egg white mix. This is exciting, because I LOVE fried chicken with a crust. Having that without the skin is a BIG PLUS for me. The gravy was spectacular. I used the flour leftover from doing the chicken for the onions.
I served this over polenta (realized I was out of regular rice at the last minute, but it worked out) with a side of French Style Green Beans. THIS WAS GREAT!

And just where was this recipe located? I can't fry chicken worth a darned!

This sounds really good, but doesn't look like it's "legal" for my 1500 calories/day regimen.

Sorry, it's Issue 37; pages 20-21.
Jeanette, I think you're right about the gravy part, but you may want to try this one, if only for the Oven Fried Chicken part. They actually fried up with crust, even with out the skin. This one may work to ease my fried food cravings!

Here's another coating you might like to try for oven fried chicken, Jeanette. It's great even with skinless pieces. and it's good hot or cold.
flour/egg white/and this coating -
1/2 cup parmesan cheese -- grated
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup cornflakes -- crushed
1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
I use this coating on chicken or catfish - both oven fried.

My recipes don't go back this far. My issues start in the 40's. Perhaps some kind-hearted samaritan will take pity on me and post the recipe.

The 40s? The magazine didn't start publication until the end of the 90s!

Here's the Oven Fried Chicken, but I couldn't find one with the "Smothered in Onion Gravy." I'll check for just the gravy.

Maybe he was only offering you a piece of the chicken.
