Oven Fried Chicken


Oven Fried Chicken
Thje amount of seasoned flour you make depends on how much chicken you have.  This recipe for 1 cup flour is good for about 12 pieces of chicken.

Ingredients:

Chicken drumsticks, wings, thighs, breasts (split) 1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt, pepper
Canola or other neutral oil

Directions:

Pat the chicken dry and season with salt and pepper. Bring to room temperature. Place the oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Grease a heavy sheet pan (or two, depending on how much chicken you are making) generously with 2-3 tablespoons of canola oil.

In a bowl, mix the flour with paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Taste a touch of the seasoned flour to be sure there is enough salt. Dredge the chicken in the seasoned flour just before baking. Shake excess flour off each piece and place on the sheet pan.

Bake for 35 minutes, turning the chicken over after 15 minutes using tongs, and rotating the trays if there is more than one. When the chicken is deep golden brown and the juices run clear, remove from the oven. Cool slightly (or refrigerate over night), pack it up, and put it in the trunk with all of your other tailgate picnic food. Off you go.
