Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken I used tenders here
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
  • 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 1/2- 3 tablespoons seasoned salt
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • Non-stick cooking spray
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Optional: Lemon wedges for garnish and serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together eggs, hot sauce and worcestershire and set aside.
  • Next add flour, seasoned salt, cornstarch, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, garlic powder and onion powder to a paper bag and shake to mix well.
  • Drizzle milk into the flour and use a fork to mix it into the flour and create crumbs.
  • Dip each piece of chicken into flour mixture and then egg wash coating both sides then dip back into seasoned flour thoroughly coating each piece. Then add piece to baking sheet lined with parchment paper that's been sprayed with oil spray to rest.
  • Finish coating all chicken and let sit for 10-15 minutes until coating has set.
  • Liberally spray the tops of chicken with non stick spray and drizzle the tops of chicken with tablespoons of vegetable oil.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until chicken is cooked throughout. Serve with lemon wedges and sprinkle lemon on chicken if you wish.

Notes

Note: this technique can be used with all chicken pieces to make all oven fried chicken.

How to Store

Store the chicken in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. For reheating, pop them in the oven at 375 degrees or use an air fryer until they’re crispy and heated through, about 10 minutes.
