How Do You Make Homemade Buttermilk?
You can always buy buttermilk at the market, but it’s really EASY to make yourself. All you need to do is mix milk and lemon juice together! Let them sit in a bowl together for 10-15 minutes; then you will end up with buttermilk. How simple is that?
How Long Do I Need To Soak Chicken In Buttermilk?
Buttermilk plays a vital role in making the chicken super tender and juicy. It would be best if you let it soak for at least one whole hour before baking. If the chicken isn’t completely covered with buttermilk, make sure to flip it halfway through.
Take your chicken pieces out of the buttermilk and dip into the crumb topping. Place in a baking dish. My roasting pan has a wire rack, which keeps the chicken a little higher so it doesn’t get soggy sitting in chicken grease.
Spray the chicken with a light oil. I used avocado oil in my oil mister. The fine droplets lightly coat the chicken and add to the fried taste and crispiness.
How Do You Know When Chicken Is Done?
There are several ways to know if the oven-fried chicken is done. First of all, check the juices in the chicken. You want them to run clear and not be bloody or brown. Next, the temperature of the chicken. It should be at least 165 degrees F.
You don’t want to cook it until the internal temperature is much higher because it will become somewhat dry. The chicken should be able to come apart easily too. Typically it will be white in the center as well.
Bake your chicken at 350F degrees for 20-25 minutes. You will know your chicken is baked and ready when it has an internal temperature of 165F degrees.
What Cut Of Chicken Do I Need To Use?
This oven-baked fried chicken recipe is incredible because you can use several cuts of chicken. Breasts, thighs, and legs are my go-to choices. Each one is a little bit different, but they all provide an excellent result. You can mix and match whatever combination you like best because they are all good.
