3 Ways To Make Fried Chicken In The Oven

Try to make your brine early in the day or the night before, so the chicken can soak for a long time.

Using bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs will give the dish more flavor and keep it moister than boneless, skinless chicken.

Removing the water will help the chicken crisp up in the oven.

Heating the pan will also help the chicken develop a crispy crust.

If you put all of the chicken thighs in at once, they may not be evenly covered in the flour mixture.

If you don’t shake the extra flour off of the chicken, the chicken will have a thick coating that doesn’t become crunchy.

Avoid flipping the chicken as it cooks. Depending on your oven, you may need to cook the chicken longer until it becomes golden brown.

You could also use tongs to turn the chicken thighs, if they aren’t clinging to the pan.

The paper towels will help to absorb any excess grease or oil.

Putting the chicken into a hot pan will create a crispy crust.

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt 1 teaspoon dried parsley flakes 1 1/2 teaspoons sweet paprika 1/2 teaspoon onion powder 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon chili powder

You may need to coat them in batches, if they don’t all fit in the mixture at once.
