Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces of chicken (legs, thighs, or breasts)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, soak the chicken pieces in buttermilk for at least 1 hour (or overnight in the refrigerator) to tenderize and flavor the chicken.
  3. Step 3: In another bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper.
  4. Step 4: Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off.
  5. Step 5: Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, making sure to coat it thoroughly. Shake off any excess flour.
  6. Step 6: Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a greased wire rack.
  7. Step 7: Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or drizzle with olive oil to help it crisp up in the oven.
  8. Step 8: Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
  9. Step 9: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
