Good Oven Fried Taco Chicken Recipes

GOOD OVEN-FRIED TACO CHICKEN!

Steps:

• In two (doubled) brown paper lunch sacks, combine dry ingredients (first seven or *eight including the red pepper flakes); shake well to mix.
• In shallow bowl, beat eggs, milk and hot sauce.
• Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, let excess drip off, then shake in bag of dry ingredients to coat.
• Set on plate or sheet as you go.
• Then after all are coated, shake each piece again in the flour mixture.
• Place bone sides down onto greased, foiled-lined shallow baking pan or sheet.
• Spray the chicken with butter-flavored vegetable spray after coating with flour mixture just before putting in the oven. Then bake for 15 minutes so it can "set", then baste each piece well with melted butter.
• Bake, uncovered, at 350ºF for a total of 55-60 minutes or until done and juices run clear.
• (When I did leg-thigh quarters, they took exactly 59 minutes).
• If pieces are small, they will take less time, of course, so check.
• Don't over bake it.
• Now kick back, have a beer, relax and don't worry about it!
• It doesn't stick or even need to be turned! (Don't turn it BTW).
• Prepare the rest of your sides and...ENJOY!

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1-inch and heat to 360 degrees F on a thermometer.
• Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 minutes on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven). Don't crowd the pieces. Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360 degrees F before frying the next batch. When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot.

TACO FLAVORED OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Put chicken breasts in large ziplock bag.
• Pour buttermilk over chicken in bag.
• Add one tablespoon of the taco seasoning to buttermilk/chicken.
• Marinate for at least 2 hours (you could probably skip this but I find that buttermilk tenderizes chicken) Mix breadcrumbs, flour, remaining taco seasoning, salt and pepper.
• Pour some of crumbs on a pie plate.
• Lift buttermilk coated chicken breasts out of bag and roll in crumbs.
• Or, you could do the shake and bake method.
• Spray pan with cooking spray.
• If you have a rack you can set on the pan, spray that.
• Set chicken pieces on rack on in pan.
• You could also use a broiler pan.
• Optional: Spray chicken pieces with butter flavored Pam if you have some around.
• Bake chicken pieces at 375 for about 35 to 40 minutes.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN II

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place flour in a shallow plate or bowl and season with salt and pepper to taste. Put the bread crumbs in another shallow plate or bowl and beat the eggs in another bowl.
• Dredge the chicken piece by piece in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs, until all pieces are coated. Pour the oil into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Add the chicken to the dish and sprinkle with paprika to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, then turn pieces over and bake for another 30 minutes. Remove from oven and drain on paper towels. Enjoy!

SOUTHERN-FRIED CHICKEN TACOS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Put the chicken on a baking sheet and cook for 15 mins or until piping hot in the centre. Meanwhile, stir half the chives into the soured cream and season to taste.
• Warm the tortillas in the microwave on high for about 1 min. Slice each chicken piece in half diagonally. Serve the warm tortillas topped with the chicken, lettuce wedges, a dollop of soured cream, the spring onions and a generous glug of buffalo sauce. Scatter over the remaining chives to serve.
