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.

Fried Chicken

Tuesdays will be flashback dinner night. I will pick a childhood dinner recipe and made into adult form. This is my first recipe. 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.


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)
