Chicken Fried Steak

Chicken Fried Steak is a great Sunday dinner. It is crunchy and has a wonderful flavor. The recipe is easy and I baked it instead of frying it which makes it a little healthier.

Chicken Fried Steak

Pre Heat oven to 350 degrees.

I started by cutting up a sirloin round steak into portions about the size of you palm. I then took a mallet and pounded out the steaks on both sides. I seasoned them and set them aside until I was ready to coat them.

I used one bowl for an egg wash which had in it 2 eggs, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and hot sauce.

The second bowl had flour, corn flakes, Cajun seasoning, chipotle seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, sriracha seasoning, and salt. A few shakes of each will work.

I took the steak and put it into the egg wash then in the flour corn flake mixture until it is coated completely. I sprayed the bottom of a glass bake dish with nonstick spray and put the steaks in the dish along with a few pats of butter around the steaks.

They went into the oven for 35-45 minutes. The inner temperature of the steak should be 140 – 160 degrees.

Gravy

While the chicken fried steaks are cooking I made up some gravy for them. I took some sliced mushrooms, a garlic clove, sliced onions, Worcestershire sauce, steak sauce, and butter. Cooked them on low heat until the onion is translucent.

I then added 2 tsp at a time of Wondra flour and stirred until it absorbed all the butter and juice. I then put in ½ cup of half and half. Stir that until it is smooth. When that comes to a boil I turned down and let cook for a few minutes. After a few minutes it will start to thicken and if not I added another spoonful until it was as thick as I needed. If it is too thick you will need to add some more half and half.

Let the chicken fried steak cool for a few minutes before serving when it comes out of the oven. Top with Gravy and enjoy.

Fried Chicken just like grandma made except it is oven fried which is better for your health. This chicken had amazing crunch and flavor you should try it.




History of how the chicken conquered the world





Fried Chicken

I used drumsticks but any parts of the chicken will be fine. I seasoned the drumsticks with all kinds of things. You can use whatever you like.

Pre heat oven at 375 Degrees



I have a container with 2 eggs or 1 Cup of egg substitute, yogurt or sour cream. All will work to adhere the flour mixture to the chicken. I will add to the mixture some hot sauce or soy sauce or any other liquid to add extra flavor.

I put together some crunch for the outside of the chicken. I put into a container flour, cornmeal, cornflakes and a crushed up high fiber cereal. About 2 cups will be fine. I then put a package of dry ranch dressing mix in and add seasoning and parmesan cheese. Remember chicken can be really plain so make sure to use lots of seasoning if you like it tasty.

Roll each piece of chicken in the egg or wet mixture and then in the flour batter mixture. Then lay on a nonstick sprayed pan.

Put in oven to bake. After 25 minutes flip the chicken and bake another 25 minutes or until done. (170 degree internal temp)

Crispy Chicken

This crispy chicken is baked in the oven and is so moist yet crunchy on the outside.  I used a rub which was very spicy and it was still there when we ate the chicken.  It is a great alternative to fried chicken.






Crispy Chicken

The rub I created was made of about 4 Tbs of each of the following ingredients except salt for 3-5 pounds of chicken.  Paprika, chili powder, garlic power, oregano, ground rosemary and tyme, Tai chili powder, poultry seasoning, celery salt, black pepper, Chipotle seasoning, and no salt Mexican seasoning.  I put in only 1Tbs of salt.

I rubbed the chicken with all the spice that I mixed up.  I rubbed it well on the both side.

I put the chicken in the oven and baked the chicken.  It is the heat of the oven that makes it crispy chicken so frying is not needed.

Bake on 350 degrees for about 60 minutes until the meat is 170 degrees.  During the last 20 minutes of cooking you can add a sauce of your choice to the chicken.  I added bbq sauce to the crispy chicken and it was out of this world. 

The Crispy chicken recipe was delicious and the skin was crunchy like it was coated but I did not.
