Description

This Oven-Fried Chicken recipe offers a crispy, flavorful alternative to traditional fried chicken without the mess or extra oil. Coated with seasoned flour, eggs, and Italian breadcrumbs, then baked to golden perfection, this dish is easy to prepare and loved by all.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 12 chicken thighs, patted dry

Coating

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika

Others

  • ½ cup vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) to prepare for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare coating stations: Place the flour in a shallow plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Put the Italian seasoned bread crumbs in another shallow plate or bowl. Beat the eggs in a separate bowl.
  3. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken thigh piece-by-piece first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the bread crumbs. Make sure each piece is fully covered with each layer.
  4. Arrange and season: Pour the vegetable oil into a large baking dish. Place the breaded chicken thighs into the dish in a single layer, then sprinkle the paprika evenly over the chicken for added color and flavor.
  5. Bake: Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. After 30 minutes, turn each chicken piece over to ensure even cooking and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
  6. Drain and serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and drain any excess oil by placing the pieces on paper towels. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy oven-fried chicken!

Notes

  • Pat chicken dry to ensure coating sticks well.
  • Use Italian seasoned bread crumbs for extra flavor; plain breadcrumbs can be substituted with added herbs.
  • Turning the chicken halfway through baking ensures even crispiness and thorough cooking.
  • Draining on paper towels removes excess oil, making the dish lighter than traditional fried chicken.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces or sides such as coleslaw or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
