This baked fried chicken recipe is so delicious and easy, it will quickly become one your family will beg for. What’s the difference between making traditional fried chicken and oven-fried chicken? It’s like passing go and collecting $200!
Traditional oven-fried chicken is deep-fat fried to get its signature ultra-crispy texture. That means standing over a stove with a deep pot of extremely hot oil, cooking a few pieces at a time, which translates to a lot of time in the kitchen and a big mess to clean up. Oven-fried chicken takes only minutes to get it into the oven and doesn’t require a lot of baby-sitting, which frees you up to do other things. Because you bake in the oven, you can make it all in one simple batch. It has a lighter coating and crispy texture, but with the same great taste of traditionally fried chicken without all the work.
Oven-fried chicken is a universal recipe you’ll want to make all year long. It’s great when the air turns cold, and you’re craving a warm dinner. And no surprise--it’s also great cold. Bake it the day before and refrigerate it so it’s ready when you’re packing up the picnic basket on a summer day.
No matter when or where you serve it, you’ll love the easy prep and delicious fried flavor without all the work.
