More About This Recipe
- Whether you’re choosing oven fried chicken thighs or oven fried chicken breast, this recipe offers a foolproof, no-fuss way to get a delicious chicken dinner on the table. While your oven is preheating, add butter to a pan and pop it into the oven. Then get busy coating your chicken in the flour mixture. By the time you’re done, the butter will be melted, your pan and oven will be preheated, and it’s as simple as putting the chicken in and giving it time to bake to perfection. Do remember to turn the chicken halfway through—after about 30 minutes—which will ensure that it crisps up nicely on both sides. If you’d like to review the basics before you begin, check out Betty’s guide on How to Bake Chicken. While we think this oven fried chicken recipe is the only one you’ll ever need, we don’t want to play favorites. Betty’s got you covered for every occasion in her Best Baked Chicken Recipe Collection.
