Crispy Baked Chicken Food

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F. Lightly grease a rimmed baking dish with olive oil. A 9 X 13-inch baking dish should work.
• Place the chicken legs in the prepared baking dish. Generously spray their tops with olive oil and sprinkle them with the seasonings.
• Bake, uncovered, until the skin is crisp and browned and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F, 40-45 minutes. Check the chicken after the first 30 minutes. If the skin or the spices seem to be browning too much, loosely cover it with foil and continue baking.
• Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.

CRISPY BAKED 'FRIED' CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Place a rack in a roasting pan or on a baking sheet.
• Rinse the chicken in cold water; pat dry. In a wide bowl or on a plate, season the flour with salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Dredge each chicken piece through the flour so it's fully coated, tap against the bowl to shake off excess flour and set aside. Discard the flour.
• Here comes the part kids like best: Crush the cornflakes by placing them in a big resealable plastic bag, carefully pressing the bag to push out the air. Seal up the bag (with as little air inside as possible) and run over the flakes with a rolling pin. Open the bag and pour the crushed flakes into a wide bowl or onto a plate.
• In a large bowl (big enough to dredge the chicken pieces), mix the buttermilk, mustard, cayenne pepper, paprika and sage. Give each floured chicken piece a good buttermilk bath and then roll in the cornflake crumbs.
• Arrange the chicken pieces on the rack and place in the hot oven. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, lower the heat to 375 degrees and cook for another 25 to 30 minutes, until cooked through and crispy. The juices should run clear when the meat is pierced with a knife. Serve with Easy Greens.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN SUPREME

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Grease a 9x13 baking dish.
• If the chicken breasts are super thick, I slice them in half, horizontally, to get breasts with a more even thickness, otherwise you can just pound them slightly to flatten out the thick end. Evening out the thickness of the meat means it will cook more evenly.
• Place the chicken breasts into the prepared pan.
• Stir together the sour cream and soup. Spread the sauce in an even layer over the top of the chicken breasts.
• Pour the contents of the stuffing box into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin to crush the stuffing mix into fine crumbs.
• Once the stuffing is crushed, add the Parmesan cheese to the bag. Shake the bag so all the crumbs and herbs form the stuffing are combined with the Parmesan.
• Sprinkle the Parmesan/stuffing mixture over the sauce on your chicken. Use it all. It will seem like a thick layer, but trust me, it's perfect!
• Distribute the butter slices over the top of the crumbs.
• Bake in a 350 degree oven for 45 minutes to an hour, depending on the thickness of your chicken breasts. Internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees.

• Bake on the upper middle oven rack, turning every 20 minutes until wings are crispy and browned. The total cook time will depend on the size of the wings but may take up to 1 hour.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS

• For the wings: Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil and brush the foil with the oil.
• Pat the wings dry with paper towels, then sprinkle with the baking powder and toss to evenly coat in a large mixing bowl. Spread the wings evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, crispy and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through.
• For the dry rub: Combine the brown sugar, salt, black pepper, granulated sugar, paprika, chili powder, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, cayenne and celery seeds in a small bowl.
• Remove the wings from the oven and add to another large mixing bowl. Season well with some of the rub, and then toss to coat. (Reserve the remaining rub for another use.) Serve immediately.

CRISPY FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Pour the buttermilk into a wide shallow dish and stir in the garlic. Slice the chicken into chunky slices, about 9.5cm long x 3-4cm wide. Lay the chicken in the dish and turn it over in the buttermilk so it is well coated. Leave in the fridge for 1-2 hrs, or preferably overnight.
• Meanwhile, heat a large, non-stick frying pan and tip in the panko crumbs and flour. Toast them in the pan for 2-3 mins, stirring regularly so they brown evenly and don't burn. Tip the crumb mix into a bowl and stir in the paprika, mustard, thyme, chilli powder, pepper and a pinch of fine sea salt. Set aside.
• When ready to cook, heat oven to 230C/210C fan/gas 8. Line a baking tin with foil and sit a wire rack (preferably non-stick) on top. Transfer half the crumb mix to a medium-large plastic bag. Lift half the chicken from the buttermilk, leaving the marinade clinging to it. Transfer it to the bag of seasoned crumbs. Seal the end of the bag and give it a good shake so the chicken gets well covered (you could do all the crumbs and chicken together if you prefer, but it's easier to coat evenly in 2 batches).
• Remove the chicken from the bag. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan, then add the chicken pieces and fry for 1½ mins without moving them. Turn the chicken over, pour in another ½ tbsp of the oil to cover the base of the pan and fry for 1 min more, so both sides are becoming golden. Using tongs, transfer to the wire rack. Repeat with the remaining seasoned crumbs, oil and chicken.
• Bake all the chicken on the rack for 15 mins until cooked and crisp, then serve with the Crunchy coleslaw (see 'Goes well with', below right).

PALEO CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN WINGS (NO BAKING POWDER, AIP)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425f degrees (use the convection setting if you have it for slightly speedier cooking), arrange a rack in the middle of the oven, and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and a wire rack on top.
• Rub the wire rack (or spray) with ½ the olive oil and add the chicken wings flat-side (or skin-side) down. Season with the rest of the olive oil and sea salt.
• Bake in the oven for approx. 45-50 minutes, flipping the wings halfway through. As the skin cooks and crisps, it will release drippings which may cause some smoke in the house, so have your windows open and fan turned on (it's worth it, trust me). Trim off any burned wing ends if you have them.
• Meanwhile, mix all ingredients including ½ of the chopped scallions for the honey-garlic sauce in a large mixing bowl and toss cooked chicken in the sauce until well coated right out of the oven and let sit.
• Next, mix up the yogurt dip in a serving bowl.

BAKED CHICKEN WINGS - EXTRA CRISPY, LIKE DEEP-FRIED

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450F.
• Dry chicken with a paper towel really well. Place the wings in a large bowl. Sprinkle baking powder over the wings. Toss until all wings are evenly covered in baking powder. Better yet, mix by hand to ensure even coverage.
• Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place a cooling rack (see note) on top and spray with Pam or rub with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
• Lay the chicken wings on the rack, leaving space between the wings.
• Place the baking sheet in the oven. Turn the heat down to 425F and set the mode to convection.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, until the wings are nicely browned and crisp.
• Let the wings rest for 5 minutes. This will preserve crispiness of the skin.
• Meanwhile, prepare the Buffalo wing sauce by combining the butter and the hot wing sauce in a small bowl.

CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees f. and prepare a parchment paper-lined baking sheet topped with a metal (oven safe) cooling rack.
• Use a sharp knife to slice the chicken lengthwise in half to create thin, even breasts. Season the chicken lightly with sea salt and pepper on both sides.
• Place the flour on a shallow plate; then on a separate plate add the crushed corn flakes and whisk in the paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
• In a bowl beat the egg together with the milk and season with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
• Start by lightly coating the chicken with the flour; then dip into the egg-milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
• Then add the chicken into the cornflakes and gently press to adhere on both sides.
• Place your coated chicken onto your prepared metal rack.
• Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
• Bake for about 20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and develops a beautiful golden crispy crust.
• I like to sprinkle a bit of mozzarella on each and broil for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is melty.
• Drizzle your chicken cutlets with a Tablespoon of pesto sauce and serve with cherry tomatoes.
• Enjoy!
