OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Oven Fried Chicken

I never get tired of chicken. I like to make it all different ways.
enjoy this less stressful way of making fried chicken on a day when you have more to do than stand over a hot fryer

this frees up 40 minutes to get sides and dessert done or even time to fry more chicken if your having a large group over and you want all the chicken done at once

you can be frying while the other batch is in the oven baking and no one  will be the wiser

in one bowl you will add the following

•  2 eggs
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup bleu cheese dressing
• 3/4 cup Franks Red Hot Buffalo Wing Sauce

in another bowl you will add

• about 2 cups or so is self rising flour
• garlic powder
• black pepper
• a little red pepper flakes

for this recipe I am using

• 1 family pack of bone in skin on chicken thighs

Rinse your chicken pieces with cold water

I like chicken thighs the best. Moist and they always have a better taste to the meat in my opinion. But use what you like.

I lay my pieces on a cookie sheet and I add

• black pepper,
• salt
• a sprinkle of red pepper flakes,
• and today I am trying a spice my friend Raquel Siles sent me all the ways from Oklahoma.
  called
• Head County Championship Seasoning. Original.

using a Cast Iron Dutch Oven and some vegetable oil, heat your oil. Must be hot enough or all your breading will fall off

Also now is a good time to preheat your oven to 350 because this will go super fast

have you a  baking pan with a rack inserted as well, ready to go

Directions

take a piece of chicken and coat in the wet mixture

dredge in the flour mixture

shake off excess and drop in oil

fry two pieces of chicken in the oil 3 minutes

then take out with metal tongs and place on the rack in your baking pan

continue until all chicken is on rack

sprinkle with salt and place in oven at 350 for 45 minutes

take out let rest while you finish sides

enjoy
