Oven Southern Fried Chicken

Crispy, juicy, and tender, this all-American classic is baked to perfection.

1h 4
Easy Meat

Contains: Gluten, Wheat, Egg

Directions

Prepare the Chicken

  1. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray.

  2. Place flour and spices into a resealable bag. Using a fork, beat eggs in a medium bowl; stir in hot sauce and mustard.

  3. Place drumsticks into bag of flour mixture; shake to coat chicken. Dip each drumstick into egg mixture, then shake in flour mixture again.

  4. Place drumsticks onto prepared baking sheet. Drizzle one tablespoon melted margarine over each drumstick (it’s okay if it runs down the sides). Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  5. Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

  6. Bake chicken on center rack for 45–50 minutes, until juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a fork.

Can you drizzle chicken with olive oil instead of butter? Also can you use bone in breast cut in half?

Olive oil instead of margarine? Yes, sure.
We haven't tested this recipe with other types of meat cuts, but you for sure can try it!

Delicious and easy. It was much quicker and no mess to put flour and spices in a bag and just shake. The spices have a nice kick. I used a cut up chicken, not just drumsticks and it was great. A nice supper.

I also tried it with boneless chicken breasts and baked it for shorter. It was good too but not very juicy. I plan on trying to fry it next time.

Can I use cutlets instead of on the bone?

Sure, you may just have to adjust the cooking time.

I’m so excited to make this- do you think it would be good to serve on shabbos day?

Yes, I would just let it crisp up on the hot plate for a few hours before the meal.
