Oven Fried Chicken
Personally I like to eat fried stuff, but I do not like to fry it at home. Firstly, its the oil, makes the entire kitchen oily. Secondly, I have no use for the extra oil, maybe except to keep it aside to cook.
I came across some value chicken thighs when I was grocery shopping the other day. Having come across an oven fried chicken recipe from Photograzing, I decided to try it out. Its pretty simple actually.
I deboned the chicken thighs in the morning. Then soaked the thighs in cold water which had salt dissolved to it. You can add two table spoon of salt for this, but I only added 1. I will tell you the reason why.
Let it sit soaking in the fridge till evening.
In the evening, turn on the oven till 200C. Put in two tablespoons of butter onto the pan and let it melt. The recipe actually requires unsalted butter but I only have salted ones. Thats why I added less salt in the water mixture in the morning.
Pat dry the chicken thighs and dredge it thru a flour mixture of salt and pepper. You can add in any spices you want at this stage. Lay the chicken pieces skin down in the pan and let it cook between 40 - 50 mins. Then turn it over for another 20-30mins. Once thats done, your chicken is ready.
