Healthy And Tasty Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

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.

Ingredients

  • 12 chicken thighs
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place flour in a shallow plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Put the bread crumbs in another shallow plate or bowl and beat the eggs in another bowl.
  • Dredge the chicken piece by piece in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs, until all pieces are coated. Pour the oil into a 9×13 inch baking dish. Add the chicken to the dish and sprinkle with paprika to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then turn pieces over and bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels. Enjoy!
