Help! My Fried Chicken Never Turns

[naekelsey]

Can someone help me cook some good fried chicken????? We have be attempting to eat healthier so I have been trying fried chicken in the oven, it just never turns out. I have followed my sis recipe to a T but still not working. (her's is ALWAYS perfect & she is the one who asked me how to my cup of noodles just years ago)

I dip the chicken in water (have tried eggs but did not work) then roll in floor. I have tried the lrg bar pan with butter and without it. Then cook around 45 minutes on one side then flip and cook for another 30 min or so and without but it just doesn't turn out looking right, not even close. (have tried different cooking times)

The chickens are skinless and boneless. The coating around the chicken always seems to fall off.

Any suggestions??

I have a great recipe I got from Ina Garden (Barefoot Contessa).

Soak chicken overnight in buttermilk (you can use low fat). I use the 8 qt. stainless bowl so I can close it w/the lid. Roll in flour mixed w/whatever spices you like (I use chilli powder). Fry for about 5 min. in a deep fryer - I use Canolla oil so it's less fat. Then bake in the oven on a bar pan at 350 degrees for about 1/2 hour. I check the internal temp. at about 20 miin. My oven sometimes runs too hot.

This recipe gives a great fried taste w/o having to fry it the entire time. Plus you can have it all ready at the same time coming out of the oven. I can only fry about 2-3 pieces at a time otherwise.

My kids love this chicken and now ask me to make it a lot! Good Luck!

If you check my blog, I've made buttermilk oven fried chicken (but you can also sub the buttermilk for lemon juice + evaporated milk). Here is a link to the actual post and I also have pictures of the chicken further down:

Love your blogsite, have been checking it out the past couple of days.

Question on the chicken...it's called Buttermilk Oven Fried, but uses no buttermilk? Just making sure I've got the right recipe!

Thanks for sharing...

Rolling it in the "floor" may be the problem!!!!

I'm sorry, I could just not resist that one!!!!

Buttermilk without the butter milkWhen ever you mix lemon juice with any type of milk, you get something very similar to butter milk. When my mom used to do a lot of baking, especially buttermilk biscuts, and she didn't have buttermilk, she simply soured regular milk with lemon juice.

I love that too! If I saw someone rolling the chicken in the floor I'd be on the floor rolling!
