Crispy Oven Fried Chicken

I was on YouTube watching these videos about cooking chicken and I ran across this one that really got my attention.

Devote some time and you will absolutely LOVE the finished product.  Total time, about 3 hours.

Ingredients

1 package of cut up chicken thighs, or wings, or legs

1/4 cup salt

3 litres of water
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tbsp garlic
1 tbsp pepper
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayene pepper

1/4 cup Crisco Oil

Stuff you will need

4 litre container

Mixing spoon

Cooling rack (Metal as your going to be cooking with it)

Pam Cooking Spray

Mixing bowl

Cookie sheet

Basting brush

Directions

In the 4 litre container, put the room temperature water and the 1/4 cup of salt and dissolve the salt in the water.

Add the chicken and make sure the chicken is submerged in the water.  Let soak in the brine for 1 hour but not more than 3 hours.  

Take the chicken out of the brine and leave the chicken wet.

In a mixing bowl, mix all the dry ingredients.

Put the metal cooling rack on the cookie sheet and spray the rack with Pam Cooking Spray.  This will make for easy clean up.

"Bread" the chicken and place the chicken skin side up.  Let it rest for 30 to 60 min in the fridge.

Place the chicken into the oven for 45 min at 350 F.

With the basting brush, drizzle the chicken with oil to cover the flour.  This will give a crispy coating that you would get if you were to deep fat fry the chicken.

Put the chicken back into the oven for another 30 min in the oven at 350 F.

Let the chicken rest for 10 minutes before serving.

Prepare for the accolades.
