Oven Deviled Or Oven Friedchicken
I was skeptical about this because of the yogurt. It was so thick! I thought I'd have big globs of yogurt on my chicken, but I didn't. The only "gripe" I have is that I think one could cut down on the bread crumbs. I halved the recipe (do I always say that? :D) and I threw away half of the bread crumbs. I had thighs around, so that is what I used. Very delicious chicken! I used Cajun Seasoning. Is that the same as Creole? Anyway - its all I could find.

That fried chicken looks fabulous! I have never made the stuff and am frightened to do so actually ;) I have no deep fryer, which I did back in the day, and my hubby duddy got rid of it to give us some cabinet room in our tiny apartment kitchen. Now I resent him for it in our spacious kitchen house, in need of a fryer :(

That looks so good. Do you think the breading will stick if I use skinless? As for you always saying you halved the recipe, I dont think I have ever seen you say that. Just like I never say I doubled the recipe = )

You double a recipe, Mr. P? When has that happened? :-P
I love "real" fried chicken, ml2c, but I can't stand pouring out all the leftover grease right down the drain. It just bugs me so much! And it can't be re-used. That's why I'm always trying new oven fried recipes. This one was great because of the foil lined pan. Just threw it all away.
So far this is the best oven fried chicken recipe I've come across but I'm still on the prowl!

Frankie, Nice pic looks delicious.:-) I never deep fry! I can't stand the smell drives me crazy b/c it lingers and lingers! I make a similar one to Oven Panfried chicken. I have looked at both recipes and IMO possibly a cross between both recipes might work for you?
Chicken tastes much better if it is soaked in milk overnight too! I do many meals on a foil lined pan. Yes clean up is much easier but also you can tent with the foil if needed. You won't of course with chicken if you want it to taste crispy and fried. I have a few LOL cookbooks to say the least! If I recall Ina Garten has one you may like. I will look it up it might help you quest for the Perfect Oven Fried Chicken.

Oh, thanks Good4U. I'd love to try Ina's recipe.
Mr. P, I forgot to answer your question about the skin. The breadcrumbs are sticking to all the yogurt, so I think skinless would be fine.

I guess I had 2 too many glasses of wine when I responded to this post last lol! I went on and on about frying in a fryer when it's oven baked lol! I even had looked over the recipe much less the NAME with the word oven 2 times :)

ML2C, I was kind of wondering if I misunderstood something. Buts thats ok. Wine goes good with chicken from the oven or fryer. In fact wine goes good with nothing, too. Even if one has too many glasses : )

I made this tonight. I followed most of the recipe, except for the bread crumbs. I was out of them. I chopped up just under a cup of almonds into crumbs. I also used cajun cuz thats what I had. This was really good. Mine didnt come out as crispy as I would have liked. I could have kept it in the oven longer but then the chicken would have been over done. I did 375 for just over 25 min. Chicken was perfectly done. Should I maybe have stayed at 400? Posted a pic on the recipe page.

Oh, m2lc, your last post made me laugh as if I had two too many glasses of wine! Ha. So funny!
I kept my oven at 400, Mr. P. Your picture looks good though! I never would have thought of using almonds!
