Coke Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

MY OVEN FRIED CHICKEN (KFC COPYCAT)

Steps:

• Place the chicken parts with the skin on in a plastic bag and pour the buttermilk in to coat. Squeeze the air out of the bag and seal. Massage the chicken and buttermilk with your hands to coat evenly and allow to marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes minimum up to several hours.
• Preheat your oven to 425°F. In a medium sized bowl using a whisk, mix together the flour, Panko, baking powder and 11 herbs and spices. Set aside.
• Place a 13x9" baking dish in the oven to get hot for at least 15 minutes (See Note 2). While pan is heating up remove the chicken from the buttermilk, shaking off excess, and dredge in the seasoned flour mixture (See Note 3), coating on all sides with one hand.
• Add the melted butter to the heated baking dish and arrange the chicken pieces on top with plenty of room on each side so they "fry" not "steam".
• Bake for 12 minutes, uncovered. Turn the chicken pieces over and bake another 12 minutes or until internal temperature reads 165°F depending on the size of your chicken. (See Note 4) Remove from oven and allow to rest 5 minutes and then serve.

EASY COLA CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Place the chicken pieces into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. In a medium bowl, mix together the Worcestershire sauce, ketchup and cola. Pour over the chicken. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
• Bake for 50 minutes in the preheated oven, until the chicken is no longer pink.

COKE-BRINED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine cola, salt, thyme, garlic and hot sauce in a large metal bowl and stir until the salt has dissolved. Add the chicken thighs, cover and refrigerate 3 to 5 hours.
• Make the seasoned flour: In a wide, shallow bowl or pan, combine the flour, salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder and cayenne.
• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Put the peanut oil in a large heavy-bottom pot or Dutch oven over medium heat until it reaches 375 degrees on a candy thermometer. While the oil heats, remove the chicken from the brine and pat dry. Dredge the thighs in the flour and shake to remove excess.
• Working in batches of 2 or 3 at a time, carefully lower thighs into the hot oil. The oil temperature will plummet when the cold chicken goes into the pan; turn up the heat and carefully monitor the temperature. Cook for a little more than 3 minutes on one side, a little more than 3 minutes on the other, and then a final 3 minutes on the first side. Remove to a wire rack or paper towel to drain.
• The juices should run clear when the chicken is poked with a knife. If necessary, transfer the browned chicken to a baking sheet and bake until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees on a instant-read thermometer. Serve hot or at room temperature with hot sauce.

COKE OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• 1. stir the buttermilk, 1 tablespoon of the ginger, 1 tablespoon of the sage, and the salt together in a large bowl. Submerge the chicken completely in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for one hour.
• 2. Set a wire rack over a rimmed baking sheet. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons ginger, remaining 2 tablespoon sage, the flour, onion powder, sugar, pepper, and baking soda together in a shallow dish.
• 3. Remove the chicken from the brine and, working with three pieces at a time, dredge in the flour mixture, shake off the excess and transfer to the prepared wire rack. Refrigerate, uncovered for two hours.
• 4. Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 200°. Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven until it measures 2 inches deep. Heat the oil to 350° over medium high heat. Add half of the chicken pieces to the pot, skin side down. Cover and cook, adjusting the heat as needed to maintain the oil temperature of 325° until deep golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• 5. After two minutes, check the chicken pieces for even browning and rearrange if some pieces are Browning faster than others. Turn the chicken pieces over and continue to cook, uncovered, until deep golden brown and fully cooked, 160 -- 165° for breasts and 175° for thighs or drumsticks on an instant read thermometer, 4 to 7 minutes longer. Drain the chicken briefly a large paper towel lined plate, then transfer to a clean wire rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Return the oil to 350° over medium high heat and repeat with remaining chicken pieces. Serve. Serves four note: ginger and sage add a nice twist to this otherwise classic fried chicken. Air drying the chicken after dredging it produces a crispier crust, while adding a pinch of baking soda lightens it up.
