Health(ier) Fried Chicken

May 28, 2014 By: Courtney @ Eat Pray Run DC9 Comments

I had been touting the deliciousness of my healthy healthier fried chicken to my colleagues for months. Finally, I decided to put up and make some fried chicken to share. Lucky for y’all, I grabbed a few photos and am going to share the recipe. This recipe is from my dear friend Kathy, who is an amazing chef. No, not professionally, but the woman can throw down. This chicken is awesome because it’s crispy but only spends about 5 minutes frying — then it finishes cooking in the oven. It’s a genius idea and SO good!

Ingredients
  1. 8 pieces of chicken
  2. 1 qt buttermilk
  3. 2 cups flour
  4. 2 teaspoons cayenne pepper
  5. 2 teaspoons seasoned salt
  6. 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  7. 1 teaspoon pepper
  8. vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
  1. Put chicken in a large bowl or container, cover with buttermilk and let sit overnight
  2. Preheat oven to 350
  3. Mix flour, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, kosher salt and pepper in a bowl
  4. Cover chicken with flour mixture
  5. Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a deep pot until it reaches 360 degrees
  6. Fry chicken at 360 degrees for 2-3 minutes on each side
  7. Remove chicken and place on a rack on a foil lined cookie sheet
  8. Cook chicken in the oven for 35-40 minutes

Notes
  1. If you do not have a cooking thermometer, you can drop a tiny bit of flour in the oil - if it sizzles, then the oil is hot enough.
