Oven-Fried Chicken
Serves: 4
Fried chicken is a southern favorite. Baking it in the oven makes it much easier than frying, while cutting back on the fat. Add a little cayenne to your spice mixture to create a spicier dish
Ingredients
- 4 pieces of chicken (drumsticks or boneless breasts)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil
- 1/2 cup plain yogurt
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
Preparation
Preheat the oven to 400º F
Rinse chicken and dry thoroughly with paper towel. Mix sea salt, paprika, garlic and pepper together in a small bowl. Put yogurt in a shallow bowl and breadcrumbs in another shallow bowl. Lightly brush a baking pan with olive oil.
Drag chicken through yogurt, sprinkle it on all sides with spice mixture, and then dip it into the breadcrumbs to coat. Place chicken on baking sheet and bake 20 to 40 minutes, or until browned on the outside and cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.
