Oven Fried Chicken

Try saving your stale or bottom of the bag potato chips... You can mix them all together until you are ready to use them... use as the coating, alone or with bread crumbs... Wonderful flavoring!!!!

This is the best oven fried chicken recipe I have ever tried. I also used 1 cup flour it worked great. We love using boneless skinless chicken thighs in all our recipes. Thanks, I will be passing this recipe to my friends.

This is a recipe I have made numerous times with just a slight difference. I used Bisquick instead & probably cooked my chicken longer. I can't imagine it coming out crispy by using spray margarine as someone mentioned, it is the butter that does it as bad as it if for us. Can't think of any substitutes. Made eggplant Parmesan the other day & tried baking it this time as suggested in recipe. So many people spoke of how good the eggplant was right off the cookie sheet just breaded & baked. I thought it looked like rubber, was dry, & bland to the taste verses fried like I always made before. However it was pretty good after making it into the casserole & layering it with the sauce & cheese. Just wanted to show the comparison of using butter in baking verses Pam, with Pam it did not taste near as good nor get crispy like with butter.

I can't fry chicken but, I can do this. I have made it many times and my family loves it. I start with the skin-side down first, then turn it over. Be careful your oven may smoke when you open the door so turn on fan and be prepared for the smoke detectors to go off.

Easy and delicious! 1 cup of flour was plenty. I added seasoning to the flour. Served with Rice-A-Roni and string beans.

Great and quick recipe! I had a taste for fried chicken, but didn't want to fry it. I came across this recipe and decided to try it. Very simple and tastes great. I used boneless chicken breasts and added another spice to the flour. Very tasty and the chicken was juicy and not dry. I will definitely use this recipe in the future. Thank you!

Would give this 50 stars if possible. Only changes - I always soak chicken at least 30 minutes in buttermilk first (removes the blood).
I added Montreal Kickin' Chicken seasoning to the dry mix. Outstanding! I am a senior and have cooked for years... but this recipe is over the top and so easy. A keeper for sure.

Second review. If you really want great crispy - replace the flour with "plain bread crumbs". By placing this directly into melted butter, the bread crumbs & butter together make this browner and really adds to the chicken. This is now a weekly treat for myself.
