Oven Fried Chicken

Oven Fried Chicken is one of the easiest ways to make a delicious chicken dinner. Of course, if we aren’t having oven-fried chicken then this air fryer chicken is next on the list.

This recipe was passed on to me by my aunt. I actually kept so many of her recipes just in a drawer thinking maybe one day I’d learn to cook and use them. That day did finally come, but I sure wish I had tried them YEARS before that.

They are all so good, I share each of them now on the blog and they are some of the most popular recipes that I have shared. There is a reason too, they are so good, each one of them.

What do you need for Oven Fried Chicken?

What type of chicken should you use for oven fried chicken?

The best type to use if you want that fried chicken taste from the restaurant, is a split fryer chicken. That means a whole chicken that has been cut, to make it easier to pull apart and cook.

It’s also best to keep the skin on, that really makes it crispy.

If your grocery store does not sell a “split fryer”, simply grab the whole chicken and head to the meat counter and ask them to cut it for you.

They can easily cut the whole fryer chicken for you, which is much easier done at the meat counter instead of at home due to the bones in the chicken, they are able to easily cut through these.

Can you make this gluten-free?

Yes! It’s super easy to make gluten-free Oven Fried Chicken, simply swap the flour for gluten-free all-purpose flour.

Can you make this Lemon Pepper Oven Fried Chicken?

If you prefer to make this with a lemon pepper twist, just use some No-Salt Added Lemon Pepper to the seasoning and flour mixture.

Now, are you ready for a tasty dinner?
