Georges Oven Fried Chicken By Judy Jude Recipes

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a large resealable plastic bag set in a baking dish. Pour the pickle juice into the bag. Seal the bag and massage gently. Refrigerate 1 to 2 hours.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs and mustard in a medium bowl; set aside. Pulse the rice cereal in a food processor to make fine crumbs. Heat 1/4 cup vegetable oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the cereal crumbs, panko, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the crumb mixture is a deep golden brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the garlic powder, celery seeds and dill. Let cool to room temperature.
• Place a rimmed baking sheet on the lowest oven rack and preheat to 425 degrees F. Remove the chicken from the pickle juice and pat dry with paper towels. One piece at a time, dip the chicken in the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then coat in the crumb mixture, pressing with your hands to adhere.
• Remove the hot baking sheet from the oven and brush with the remaining 1/4 cup vegetable oil. Place the chicken on the baking sheet and bake until golden and a thermometer inserted into the breasts registers 160 degrees F and the thighs 170 degrees F, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing.

GEORGE'S CRISP CRUSTED OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN BY JUDY- JUDE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash chicken pieces and pat dry, set aside.
• Beat egg and milk in a bowl.
• In another bowl, mix potato flakes and the rest of the spices and parmesan cheese.
• Melt butter in a shallow baking pan (13"x9"x2").
• Roll chicken first in egg mixture, then in the potato flake mixture.
• Next roll coated chicken pieces in the butter as you place them into the pan (skin side up).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until juices from meat run clear when pierced with a fork.
• Note: If you use garlic powder just be sure to add 1 teaspoon of salt; Judy used seasoned salt per her dad's little crib note on the recipe. I often use more spices to make it taste a little like Kentucky Fried Chicken. This recipe was written up pretty much as I had received it from Judy. Enjoy!
