Oven Fried Ranch Chicken Recipes

BUTTERMILK RANCH OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine chicken, ranch seasoning, and buttermilk in a large ziploc bag.
• Turn the bag over several times to ensure the chicken is coated with the ranch and buttermilk and place in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for the entire day or at least one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 425F.
• Spay a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside.
• Combine corn muffin mix and seasonings in a shallow bowl.
• Remove the chicken pieces one at a time and shake off the excess buttermilk.
• Dip the chicken in the breading, turning to evenly coat. Shake off excess and place chicken, bone side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat for remaining chicken pieces.
• Lightly spray the top of each piece of chicken with cooking spray.
• Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Check the chicken at about 30 minutes and if the coating is turning too brown, just place a piece of foil lightly over the top of the chicken to prevent further browning.

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.

RANCH OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400° F. Place a rack on top of a large rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with aluminum foil. Spray rack with cooking spray and set aside.
• Pour salad dressing into a medium bowl.
• In a large, shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, Corn Flakes crumbs, sugar, paprika, onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Drizzle with oil and mash with a fork until the oil is thoroughly incorporated (the crumbs will almost look like wet sand).
• Pat the chicken dry; season with kosher salt and pepper.
• Coat chicken pieces in Ranch salad dressing. I like a thin layer of the dressing, so I use a brush to coat the chicken. If it's easier, you can also just dip the chicken directly in the Ranch, then shake off any excess. Coat chicken with Corn Flakes mixture, pressing gently to help adhere.
• Arrange chicken on prepared wire rack. Bake for about 40-50 minutes, or until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165° F. Check the chicken after the first 20 minutes - if the breading starts to get too dark, tent loosely with foil for the remainder of the cooking time. If you're using bone-in chicken breasts, you will need to bake them for longer.

• 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!
