Oven Fried Chicken with an incredibly tasty breading! With the Anova Precision Oven the chicken is cooked to a precise temperature and is perfectly juicy. There's no guesswork trying to figure out if the chicken is fully cooked as the probe inserted into the chicken indicates when the chicken has reached the desired temperature. Then the chicken is crisped up using the dry heat function of the oven. With this recipe, there is no mess caused by splattering oil from frying chicken. It is an easier way to make healthier fried chicken.

Ingredients

7 cloves

garlic, peeled

chicken drumsticks and thighs, I used 6 drumsticks and 3 thighs

2.5 Tbsp

Cajun seasoning, divided

½ tsp

salt

½ tsp

black pepper, divided

2 cups

buttermilk

2 cups

panko breadcrumbs

1 cup

flour

1 Tbsp

dried parsley

1.5 tsp

seasoned salt

Steps

1. Crush Garlic

Place the garlic in a blender and give it a quick pulse to lightly crush it or crush the garlic in a mortar. It should be very chunky.

2. Season Chicken

Place chicken in a bowl. Add 1 1/2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well to ensure the seasoning gets all over the chicken.

3. Add Buttermilk and Garlic

Add the buttermilk and crushed garlic to the bowl with the chicken. Mix lightly so the buttermilk and garlic are well distributed.

4. Let Chicken Marinate

Cover the bowl of chicken with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to overnight.

5. Make Breading

In a medium bowl whisk together the breadcrumbs, flour, dried parsley, 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning, 1 1/2 teaspoons seasoned salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.

6. Preheat Oven

7. Coat Chicken with Breading

Lift a piece of chicken from the buttermilk and shake so the excess buttermilk drips off. Place the chicken in the bowl with the breading. Press the breading onto the chicken and completely coat the chicken with the breading.

8. Transfer Chicken to Rack

Note: For this stage it is best to use a baking sheet with an oven-safe rack that fits into the sheet. Or you could just place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil and sprayed with oil. Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Fit an oven-safe rack over the baking sheet. Brush oil over the rack or spray the rack with oil. Place breaded chicken pieces on the rack.

9. Cook Chicken

Insert probe into the thickest part of the chicken and cook until the probe reads 160 degrees Fahrenheit. It takes about 17 minutes.
