Southern Oven Fried Chicken

 

One of my cooking goals this year was to make oven fried chicken. I mean a woman is not a full woman if she does not know how to cook this dish in my view. 

Soooooo, I have achieved full womanhood status this week! and this recipe was soooo good from the first bite we took. I think it is going to be a classic in our lives. It does take some work, but I think once you master it you can really make it much faster.

INGREDIENTS:

-1 whole chicken cut up in pieces.

For the marinate:
-1 cup of buttermilk.
-1 tablespoon of cajun spices.

-some salt and pepper.

-3 garlic cloves crushed.

For the crispy coating:

-2 cup of japanese/tempura crumbs.

-1 cup of cornstarch.

-2 tsp baking powder. 

-1 tsp of salt.

-1 tablespoon of paprika.

-1 tablespoon of garlic powder.

-1 tablespoon of onion powder.

-1 teaspoon of cayenne pepper.

-1 teaspoon of dried herbs.

-1 teaspoon of white pepper.

STEPS:

1. Dry your chicken with paper towells and now add the cajun spices, salt and pepper and garlic cloves. Coat it well with your hands. 

2. Now put all the chicken in ziploc and add the buttermilk and let it all coat in the fridge overnight or for a few hours. 

3. Now prepare the mix. Add everything in a bowl and mix together well. 

4. Coat the chicken well and place in oven at 200 degrees for 1 hour.

Delicious! so so good. This recipe  is a keeper. Pictures of final product  coming up soon.
