Oven-Fried Chicken Pieces

Joel Lafond, Executive Chef with the Shaarey Zedek Synagogue Catering Department

 

Chanukah, a time of year when even those who avoid fried food (is that possible nowadays?)
cannot escape it ... unless, of course, you don't eat latkes, jam busters or french fries ever. As hard
as it may be to avoid fried foods altogether, it is okay in moderation. This recipe for Oven-Fried Chicken does involve frying, but is finished in the oven so it is not as greasy as regular fried chicken can be. We sear the chicken or fry it until the outside is a light golden brown. If you don't have a deep fryer or don't want to fry in your home, you can just use the same recipe with boneless skinless chicken breasts and sear them in a shallow frying pan first.

 

Yield: 3 or 4 servings

 

Ingredients

1

Whole Chicken, cut into 10 pieces

250 ml (1 cup)

Flour, seasoned with salt, pepper and Montreal steak spice

4 - 6

Eggs, whipped and seasoned with salt and pepper

750 ml (3 cups) Panko Bread Crumbs, seasoned with salt, pepper and Montreal steak spice

 
Method

Put the chicken pieces through a breading station, starting with the seasoned flour, then the egg mixture, and finally the bread crumbs. Thoroughly coat each piece with every step. Sear the chicken in a deep fryer at 175º C (350º F) or in a large pot on the stove with hot oil. If the oil is not hot, it will just saturate the bread crumbs and the coating will not be golden brown in colour. Place the fried pieces onto paper towels to soak up some of the excess oil. Arrange the chicken pieces on a sheet pan lined with tin foil or parchment paper and place in a 175º C (350º F) oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until thoroughly cooked.

The panko bread crumbs make for a delicious, crispy coating and do not retain as much moisture or oil, resulting in a lighter and less greasy fried chicken.
