Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a thermometer reads 170°.

CRISPY JUICY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place chicken breasts and buttermilk into a large resealable plastic bag, knead several times to coat chicken with buttermilk, and squeeze air from the bag. Seal and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Placed crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix into a shallow bowl. Mix flour, salt, and black pepper in a separate flat dish. Beat egg with water in a bowl. Pour peanut oil into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan.
• Remove chicken from buttermilk, shake off excess buttermilk, and discard used buttermilk marinade. Dredge chicken breasts in seasoned flour. Dip each floured breast in egg, then press gently into stuffing mix to coat. Place coated chicken breasts into the pan with peanut oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Turn each chicken breast over and continue baking until chicken pieces are no longer pink inside and the coating is crisp, about 25 more minutes.

CRISPY PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Cut each breast in half horizontally to make 4 steaks. If they are much thicker than 1.75 cm / 3/4" thick (at the thickest point), pound a bit.
• Place egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk with fork.
• Place parmesan in a shallow bowl.
• Dredge chicken in egg, then place in parmesan CUT SIDE DOWN (Note 3). Press, then turn. Coat with extra parmesan, press. Shake off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.
• Place chicken in non-stick skillet (or well seasoned cast iron skillet). DO NOT MOVE chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! It adheres once it turns crispy.
• Press down lightly with spatula. Lift a corner to take a peek and turn with tongs when it's deep golden brown (3 minutes for me).
• Cook the other side for 3 minutes or until also deep golden brown and crispy (again, do not move until golden). Lightly press down with spatula. Don't cook longer than 6 minutes in total - dries out the chicken.
• Serve immediately! I served mine with lemon slices, Cauliflower Mash and a Fennel Slaw with Yoghurt Dressing (Note 5).

EASY CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Grease a baking dish.
• Mix cracker crumbs, seasoned salt, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts into melted margarine and press into cracker mixture until coated. Arrange chicken in prepared baking dish.
• Bake in preheated oven until chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 45 to 60 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (75 degrees C).

CRISPY STUFFED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. 2. Lightly grease a baking dish, large enough to hold all of the rolls without touching. 3. Fill a shallow bowl with remoulade sauce. Place cutlets into bowl and toss to coat. 4. Fill a second shallow bowl with breadcrumbs. 5. Take one cutlet coated in dressing and lay it in the breadcrumbs, gently pressing into the crumbs so they adhere to the cutlet on one side. 6. Place about a tablespoon each of broccoli and chopped turkey bacon on the edge of the cutlet. Roll up the cutlet and broccoli- turkey bacon filling, like you would a jelly roll. 7. Place seam-side down in prepared baking dish. Don't overcrowd or the rolls won't crisp when they bake. 8. Repeat with remaining ingredients. 9. Spray the rolls with cooking spray. 10. Bake at 350° F for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and no longer pink inside. 11. Slice into one and half-inch rounds and serve on a platter with remoulade (or dressing of choice) for dipping.

STUFFING CRUSTED BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken pieces in a gallon zipper seal bag.
• Whisk the sour cream, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, celery salt, garlic powder and white pepper. Pour over the chicken pieces and massage the marinade all over the chicken pieces. Refrigerate for three hours.
• Place the stuffing mix in a food processor and pulse until the consistency is like coarse panko bread crumbs. Set aside.
• After three hours, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Remove the chicken from the bag and discard the marinade, leaving the pieces coated.
• Pour out the crumbs onto a platter or dish and roll the wet chicken in the crumbs until fully coated on all sides, pressing as you do.
• Place a piece of parchment over a sheet pan and then place a rack over the parchment. Spray the rack with pan spray. The parchment is just for easy clean up.
• Lay the pieces over the rack and drizzle on the butter. I used a pastry brush and kept dipping it in the butter and drizzling it over the chicken. Then brush any dry spots.
• Finally using pan spray, spray the tops just to make sure everything all dry spots are covered then bake.
• Bake for 20 minutes at 425 degrees F then reduce to 350 degrees F and bake until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees F.
• I pulled the leg and thigh pieces off about ten minutes before the breast quarters were cooked but this will vary depending on how big your pieces are.
• If the chicken is almost cooked but the crust is not crispy enough for your liking, raise oven back to 425 degrees F and cook for another 5-10 minutes.
• Total cooking time is between 45 and 60 minutes.

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).

BAKED BUFFALO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Place the oven rack in the top third of the oven and preheat to 450°F. Lightly brush a large baking sheet with vegetable or canola oil and set aside.
• Use a long, thin boning knife to slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create two thin fillets. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap on a cutting board, and gently pound to about 3/8-inch with a meat tenderizer. Place the chicken breasts in a 9 X 13 baking dish. Pour the hot sauce over the chicken and toss to coat. Marinate the chicken in the hot sauce for 30 minutes.
• Pour the cooled melted butter into a shallow bowl and scatter the panko bread crumbs onto a small plate. Remove a chicken breast from the hot sauce and dip both sides allowing the excess to drip off, then into the bread crumbs. Pat the bread crumbs into each side of the chicken breast until its evenly coated, then place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Bake the chicken breasts for 10-12 minutes or until the bread crumbs are lightly browned and toasted and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from the oven and garnish with crumbled blue cheese. Serve with Ranch or blue cheese dressing and more hot sauce on the side, plus carrot and celery sticks.
