Southern Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

SOUTHERN OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN RECIPE

Steps:

• First, mix two cups of water and two tablespoons of kosher salt in a large bowl to brine the chicken. Next, add the thighs and make sure they are completely submerged. Cover, and refrigerate for at least four hours, up to 24 hours.
• When you are ready to bake the thighs, preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
• Remove the poultry from the refrigerator, drain, and pat dry with paper towels.
• Place the butter in a 9x13 metal roasting pan.
• Place the pan in the oven to allow it to heat up and the butter to melt. Watch it carefully, and don't let the butter burn; you want the thighs to start cooking as soon as they hit the pan.
• While the pan is heating, place the flour, remaining salt, and pepper in a large plastic storage bag. Add the thighs, a piece at a time, and shake well until it's thoroughly coated. Shake off any excess flour and repeat with the rest of the chicken.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place the thighsn in it, skin side down.
• Oven-fry the chicken for 30-40 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and crispy.
• Remove from the oven and use a spatula and turn the chicken over. Cook for an additional 20 minutes.
• Remove the chicken from the oven, and drain on paper towels.
• If desired, season with additional salt and pepper and serve immediately.
