Georges Oven Fried Chicken By Judy Jude Recipes

GEORGE'S CRISP CRUSTED OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN BY JUDY- JUDE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Wash chicken pieces and pat dry, set aside.
• Beat egg and milk in a bowl.
• In another bowl, mix potato flakes and the rest of the spices and parmesan cheese.
• Melt butter in a shallow baking pan (13"x9"x2").
• Roll chicken first in egg mixture, then in the potato flake mixture.
• Next roll coated chicken pieces in the butter as you place them into the pan (skin side up).
• Bake at 400 degrees for 45 to 50 minutes or until juices from meat run clear when pierced with a fork.
• Note: If you use garlic powder just be sure to add 1 teaspoon of salt; Judy used seasoned salt per her dad's little crib note on the recipe. I often use more spices to make it taste a little like Kentucky Fried Chicken. This recipe was written up pretty much as I had received it from Judy. Enjoy!

CORNMEAL-CRUSTED OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a large bowl whisk, together buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, oil, shallots, thyme, 1 tsp of the salt, and 1 tsp of the cayenne, add the chicken, stirring to coat it with the marinade, and let it marinate, covered and chilled, stirring occasionally for 3 hours or overnight. (I put everything in a large zip lock bag.).
• Preheat the oven to 425°F.
• In a separate bowl, make the egg wash by mixing together the eggs, water and 1 tbl lemon juice.
• In another large bowl combine the cornmeal, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, remaining 1 tsp salt, paprika and the remaining 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper. (I put everything in a large zip lock bag, and coat the pieces two at a time.).
• Remove the chicken from the marinade with a slotted spoon, letting the excess marinade drip off, dip it in the egg wash, and dredge it in the cornmeal mixture, shaking off the excess.
• Arrange the chicken in a one layer onto a rack and let it dry for 30 minutes.
• (The chicken may be prepared up to this point 6 hours in advance and kept covered loosely and chilled.).
• Arrange the chicken, skin side up, in one layer in a lightly oiled jelly-roll pan, drizzling the butter over it, and bake it in the middle of the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until it is done and crisp.

• Heat oven to 425 degrees.
• Wash chicken and pat dry.

• Place in a 13"x9"x2" pan with shortening & butter in the oven, melt the shortening & butter.
• Place chicken skin side down in melted shortening & butter.
• Bake uncovered for 30 minutes.
• Turn chicken; cook 30 minutes longer or until thickest pieces are fork tender and juices run clear when pierced.
• NOTE:. This recipe is basically written as is, which I had received from Judy. She has also substituted skinless chicken pieces. And I have often added more spices, to make it similar to Kentucky Fried Chicken -- and used boneless chicken as well. Enjoy, it is a very good recipe and a withh a nice KFC taste as well.
