Oven Fried Chicken
I love chicken. That should be pretty obvious by the sheer number of chicken recipes that are on this blog.
I also love making chicken by baking it in the oven. It comes out so tender and juicy. I love to coat chicken in panko breadcrumbs, and bake it, so that there a delicious crunchy crust on the outside.
That being said, I don’t want to eat the same chicken all the time. I like to use different flavors when making this oven fried chicken.
True, oven fried chicken will probably never taste as good as deep fried chicken, but it’s so much healthier and easier to make.
Cleanup will also be much easier, since you don’t have to clean up oil splatter from your stove.
