KFC and All Fried Chicken

It may be more difficult to do it w/o oil.

lots of butter

Here’s a method of preparing “oven-fried” chicken (figure B) that’s high in flavor but low in fat. A single chicken-breast prepared in this way contains about 275 calories, and only about 4 grams of fat.

Ingredients:

1 large egg
1 large egg-white
1 Tbs. Dijon mustard
1 box (5 ounces) plain melba toast
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. dried rosemary
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper (optional)
Four 4-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Spray oil

Steps:

* Start with the coating. In a mixing bowl, blend the egg, egg-white and Dijon mustard. Whisk the ingredients thoroughly. This will create a sticky coating that will allow the breading to form a batter-like crust on the chicken. (To reduce fat even further, you could use an egg substitute rather than the whole egg.)

* To make the breading, place 5 ounces of ordinary melba toast in a food processor (figure C). The spices for this recipe are added via the breading, so add the thyme, rosemary, oregano, garlic powder, black pepper salt and (if you like your chicken hot and spicy) cayenne pepper. Once you’ve added your spices, grind the ingredients in the food processor to make a crumbled breading. Avoid grinding the ingredients all the way down to a fine powder.

* Place the breading in a plate. Dip the chicken ******* in the coating, then place them into the breading (figure D) to coat the chicken thoroughly with the crumbs.

* For extra-crispy chicken, dip the breaded chicken back into the coating once again, then back into the breading. This creates a double coating of breading on the chicken.

* Place the breaded chicken-breasts onto a baking tin, and spray them with a light coating of spray oil (figure E).

* Place the chicken into an oven preheated to 400 degrees. Bake for 12 to 17 minutes. At about 2 minutes, turn the ******* over, spray them again and place them back into the oven.

Fried food ought to be greasy. Just use the oil!

I guess butter would be out of the question…
You can cook chicken in its own fat, but it wouldn’t be fried chicken - the kind with the breading…
If the oil is extremely hot, then less of it enters the food…

Bake it. The oil on the skin will burn like being fried.

not w/out burning the crap out of it.

it’s not fried but taste like it was make chicken as if u were goin to fry it but bake instead at 375 fer 45-60 min it it starts to get to brown sheild it with foil…
