Easy Oven Fried Chicken

 

chicken3

I made this chicken last night for dinner.  It’s a little healthier than deep fried chicken, and a lot easier to make.  We are a family of 5, so I made enough to have leftovers.  It was very tasty and filling, and perfect for a diverse (polite word for picky) group of eaters.

You will need:

8 Chicken Thighs

3/4 C Bisquick

1/2 C Flour (I like King Arthur )

1 tsp good kosher salt

1/2 tsp onion powder

1 tsp dried basil leaves

1 tsp oregano

garlic salt to taste

pepper to taste

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. In a large Ziploc bag, combine Bisquick , flour, salt, onion powder, basil, and oregano. Shake to mix and set aside.
  3. Season chicken thighs with garlic salt and pepper to taste on both sides.
  4. Toss chicken in flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  5. Microwave 2 TBSP butter until melted. Spread evenly around the casserole dish.
  6. Place coated chicken skin side down in casserole dish.chicken1
  7. Bake at 400 F for 15-17 minutes. Then, flip over so skin is up and then cook until finished, about 10-12 more minutes. Chicken should be nice and crisp.

Great sides with this include: rice, squash, sautéed spinach, or mashed potatoes. If you have extra time, gravy would be delicious too.
