Convection Oven Baked (Fried) Chicken!
Fried chicken is wonderful, but not the oil you need to fry it in. A friend of mine has an air fryer and they were talking air fryer fried chicken. So I thought I would try it is a really big air fryer - my convection oven! Works really well. Seriously borrowed the recipe from Crispy Oven Fried Chicken.
Ingredients:
6- bone- in chicken thighs, skin can be removed
½ - cup all-purpose flour
1 - large egg
2 - tbsps. milk
1 - teaspoon garlic powder
¾ - teaspoon salt
1 - teaspoon smoked paprika
1 ¾ - cups Panko breadcrumbs
1/3 - cup vegetable oil
Directions:
Set up your dredging station with 3 medium-sized shallow bowls filled with:
1. Flour
2. Eggs well beaten, combined with milk, garlic powder, salt & smoked paprika
3. Panko combined with the oil
Preheat the oven Convection Bake or Convection Roast 375 degrees.
Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel and dredge in the flour, roll in the egg mixture and coat with the Panko, then place on the baking sheet.
Spray with a mist of cooking oil Oven Fried Chicken, Double Convection Bake or Convection Roast Corn Spoonbread Casserole, Roasted Broccoli Slices. Spray to give the crust an extra bit of crisping and cook for 30 - 35 minutes depending on the size of the thighs.
