easy Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

Oven fried chicken recipes are very easy to make. I got even lazier and used some shake and bake that I found in the pantry, instead of the crackers. This was fast, easy, and best of all, it tasted great. Also, it's convenient for busy moms.

Spray top part of chicken pieces evenly with oil. Bake until chicken is nutty brown and juices run clear, 30 minutes for drumsticks and 35 minutes for thighs.
Oven fried chicken recipe #3

Ingredients(For 6 servings):

2 chickens (3 pounds each), cut in eight serving pieces

1 quart buttermilk

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon kosher salt

1 tablespoon freshly ground black pepper

Vegetable oil or vegetable shortening

Instructions:

Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1 inch and heat to 360 degrees on a thermometer. Working in batches, considered place any pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees F. Before frying the next batch. When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

Most citizen use a frying pan, but I use a stockpot so the grease doesn't get all over the stove (and me!).

I use a candy thermometer to check the oil temperature.
