This method for baked fried chicken is inspired by a family tradition. It involves a quick fry to achieve a crisp, golden exterior before transferring the chicken to the oven. Baking it covered ensures the meat stays wonderfully moist and tender. The final step of uncovered baking restores the crispiness. It's a reliable technique for a satisfying poultry meal.

Method

In a large skillet or frying pan, heat the oil to 375 degrees.

Mix all the dry ingredients together in a bowl.
Lightly dampen the chicken pieces with water if they seem dry.
Coat each piece of chicken thoroughly in the prepared flour and crumb mixture.
Fry the chicken briefly, turning to brown and crisp all sides.
Transfer the chicken to a covered baking dish and bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes.
Take off the cover and bake for a further 20-30 minutes to crisp the chicken again before serving.
