Oven-fried Chicken
I made this tonight. It was good. Lightly adapted from Cafe Delites.
Oven-fried Chicken
5-6 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
S&P
1/2 cup AP flour
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp milk
1 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/3 cup vegetable oil
Garlic powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, chipotle powder, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 (convection setting if you have it).
Dry chicken; season lightly with S&P. Combine flour, a dash of salt and pepper, and dried seasonings. In a separate bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, salt and pepper, and more dried seasonings. Mix oil into breadcrumb mixture. In a third bowl, combine egg and milk.
Spray a baking rack with nonstick spray and put over a baking sheet.
Dredge chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs. Press breadcrumbs into chicken to adhere. Put on baking rack and cook for 30-40 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165F and the coating is crispy.
Serve with honey mustard (equal parts dijon mustard and honey) or other dipping sauce of your choice.
