How do you fry chicken?

Instead of frying, RICHARD, I've made some pretty darned good chicken that was coated in plain yogurt and rolled in crushed corn flakes, then baked. Yum!

I've had a hankering for a piece of fried chicken in the last couple of days myself. I used to watch my mother fry it every week. It was fantastic. I think all she did was to wash it, season it, coat the pieces with flour and fry in hot oil. Not deep fry, just some oil in the pan. It always tasted amazing.

I also visit the Colonel because I hate to clean the stove!!!

I can roast it and make soup! Barely.

Frying chicken was just one of the things that I never really thought about.

Now that you are all watching, what pieces do you like?

Oven Fried Chicken from the Bisquick Box. BEST fried chicken ever. I make this whenever I have company but you could do a small batch for yourself. The leftovers are great cold. I think you will be quite pleased.

I have the recipe memorized but I don't really measure.

You need a 13x9x2 baking pan, Bisquick, Butter, spices, chicken parts.

Preheat oven to 425.

Dump some Bisquick in a large zipper type baggie, sprinkle in seasonings, whatever you like. I like lots of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Also, a little salt. Shake the bag good to mix in the spices. Rinse the chicken pieces but do not pat them dry. Drop a couple pieces at a time into the baggie with the Bisquick mixture in it and shake around to coat the chicken. While you are doing this, put 2 tablespoons of butter into a 13x9x2 pan and put the pan in the oven to get it hot and melt the butter. This gives the chicken a jump start on browning. Put the coated chicken pieces onto the hot baking pan skin side down. Bake 35 minutes, turn chicken, bake an additional 15 minutes.

Here is a link to the actual recipe:

You can make this figure friendly by removing the skin from the chicken and using margarine and low fat Bisquick. (yuck)

I have never had any luck frying chicken on top of the stove in oil, plus, i get nervous boiling all of that oil.

Enjoy!
