Oven Fried Cinnamon Honey Chicken Food

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN-ON-A-STICK WITH VIDALIA-HONEY MUSTARD DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the salt, 1 teaspoon of the paprika, 1/2 teaspoon of the onion powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Add the buttermilk and whisk until the salt is completely dissolved and the spices are dispersed in the liquid.
• Cut the chicken lengthwise into about 1-inch-wide strips. Add to the marinade and let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes. (Do not marinate any longer or the chicken will be too salty. If you can't cook it right at the 30-minute mark, remove the chicken from the marinade and refrigerate until ready to continue.)
• In a large shallow dish (a 9 by 13-inch baking dish works well), combine the bread crumbs, the remaining 1 teaspoon paprika, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder, and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic powder. Add the 2 tablespoons oil and toss well to coat. Whisk together the egg whites and mustard in a second large shallow dish. Season both mixtures with pepper.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil, then set an ovenproof rack on it. Coat the rack with nonstick cooking spray.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade, shaking off any excess, and thread onto sixteen 12-inch bamboo skewers, dividing the meat evenly, about 1 strip per skewer. Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Place in the bread crumb mixture one skewer at a time, sprinkle with crumbs to cover, and press so the coating adheres to both sides. Gently shake off any excess crumbs and place the skewers on the prepared rack.
• Bake the chicken, turning halfway through, until golden brown and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. Serve warm with the dipping sauce.
• Put the vinegar, onion, garlic, honey, and mustard in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal blade. Pulse until smooth. With the motor running, add the oil in a slow steady stream until thick and emulsified. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

OVEN-FRIED HOT HONEY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven: Set the oven rack in the center and preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and generously spray it with cooking spray. Set it aside.
• Bake the chicken: Generously spray the chicken with cooking spray. Bake it for 20 minutes. Then gently flip the chicken over, being careful not to peel off the breading, and bake for 10 more minutes. The breading should be a light golden brown; it may have a few darker spots. When cooked through, an instant-read thermometer inserted in the center should register 165°F.

HONEY FRIED CHICKEN BITES

Steps:

• Combine 1/2 cup buttermilk, 1/3 cup pickle juice, 2 tablespoons hot sauce, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken thighs, seal the bag and shake to evenly disperse. Refrigerate and let marinate for at least 2 hours or up to overnight.
• Whisk together the honey, chopped pickles and the remaining 2 tablespoons each pickle juice and hot sauce in a large bowl until well combined.
• Whisk together the flour, paprika, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Pour in the remaining 1/4 cup of buttermilk and use your fingers to work it in, making the flour shaggy.
• Fill a large, wide Dutch oven or pot with about 2 1/2 inches of oil, then add the shortening. Attach a deep-fat fry thermometer to the side of the pot and bring to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Line a large baking sheet with paper towels and a wire rack if desired and set aside.
• Drain the chicken in a colander but do not pat dry. Transfer the chicken to the flour mixture, making sure to press the pieces into the flour to fully coat. Set on a plate. (If you notice the chicken getting soggy in any spots as it sits, dredge it in the flour mixture again.)
• When the oil is at 350 degrees F, very carefully slide the breaded chicken into the oil and fry until deep golden brown with an internal temperature of about 170 degrees F, about 4 minutes. Remove to the lined baking sheet and sprinkle with a little salt.
• Put the chicken in the bowl with the honey mixture and toss to coat. Serve in paper cones with toothpicks for skewering the chicken bites.

OVEN FRIED CHICKEN WITH SPICY HONEY AND SLAW

Steps:

• For the chicken: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with a baking rack. Lay out the chicken and pat each piece dry with a piece of paper towel. Season with 1 teaspoon kosher salt.
• In a large bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, onion powder, cayenne pepper, remaining 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and pepper and stir well. Add the chicken pieces into the bowl and toss to coat each piece. Set aside.
• In a smaller bowl, whisk the egg with the mayonnaise, buttermilk and hot sauce. Scatter the crushed cornflakes into a shallow dish.
• Remove the chicken from the flour mixture one piece at a time and tap off any excess flour. Dunk and thoroughly coat the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, allow excess to drip off, then roll and press into the cornflake crumbs. Place the chicken onto the rack-lined baking sheet and continue until all of the chicken is coated, making sure to leave space between each piece.
• Bake the chicken until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (75 degrees C) and the coating is golden brown, about 20 to 25 minutes for chicken breasts or thighs and 30 to 40 minutes for drumsticks. Season the chicken immediately with kosher salt and allow it to rest for about 5 minutes.
• For the spicy honey: Combine the honey, hot sauce and red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Transfer to an airtight container to store at room temperature for up to 1 month.
• For the slaw: Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, mustard, honey, celery salt and oil in a large bowl. Stir in the onion.
• Thinly slice the cabbage and shred the carrot on the large side of a box grater. Then add to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper and mix very well to combine.
• Serve the chicken with the spicy honey and slaw.
