If using other chicken parts like wings or breast, reduce cooking time.\nCornflour:\nGives extra crisp and crunch to the chicken.\nAll Purpose flour:\nVery important to coat chicken. One of the Key ingredients to crispy chicken.\nWater:\nHelps to hold in the second layer of coating and contributes to the crispiness of the chicken.\nTurmeric:\nThe secret ingredient to the golden yellow color. Do not miss it.\nEgg:\nHelps flour to stay coated in chicken and adds more crispness to chicken.\nSpices and herbs:\nFor extra flavor and taste.\nSeasoning powder:\nMany other recipes call for salt only, No for me! Seasoning powder like bouillon, knorr, or Maggi gives the chicken a perfect taste.

Put in the oven for 5 minutes 400 degrees F for the crisp to come back. If microwaved, the coating will be soft and soggy.

I modified this to use 1C flour, and 1C crumbled cornflakes, and upped it to 1T of paprika, garlic powder. This shot to a 5\* with my family after these changes. Great to start with!

Readable Markdown	My favourite is that extra Crispy Oven Fried Chicken with the perfect crust and juicy meat. My family loves it so much, especially during movie nights. This KFC-style baked chicken is another level. ![Crispy chicken drumsticks and fries on a black platter with ketchup.](https://cookingwithclaudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FB_IMG_1714800148511.jpg) Although it's not been fried, trust me, you will still enjoy its crispiness and juiciness. Imagine enjoying the perfect fried chicken without being deep-fried in oil; isn't that amazing? I will show you how to keep reading ahead. [Watch the full Video here](https://youtu.be/7_1hQ01jZUc) The chicken wasn't soaked in buttermilk as many other recipes instruct, I instead marinated it with spices and egg, then coated with flour and baked. NO REGRETS! There was one time I bought KFC deep-fried chicken, and my husband asked me if it can be baked. I told him definitely YES, he went further and said, please make some for me without deep frying and no buttermilk. I went ahead and wrote down this recipe, tried it, and guess what? It was super delicious and juicy. This has been my forever go-to KFC recipe. It has been tested and approved so fear not\! Why Baking instead of Frying? - Healthy: Baking is healthier than deep frying. If you are on a diet or trying to cut down on oily food, this should be your new favorite recipe. - Plan ahead: Chicken can be marinated overnight. - Avoid burns or splashes from hot oil. Ingredients to use. This recipe uses many ingredients, but I will sort out the key ingredients. - Chicken: I used chicken drumsticks. If using other chicken parts like wings or breast, reduce cooking time. - Cornflour: Gives extra crisp and crunch to the chicken. - All Purpose flour: Very important to coat chicken. One of the Key ingredients to crispy chicken. - Water: Helps to hold in the second layer of coating and contributes to the crispiness of the chicken. - Turmeric: The secret ingredient to the golden yellow color. Do not miss it. - Egg: Helps flour to stay coated in chicken and adds more crispness to chicken. - Spices and herbs: For extra flavor and taste. - Seasoning powder: Many other recipes call for salt only, No for me! Seasoning powder like bouillon, knorr, or Maggi gives the chicken a perfect taste. I never miss this out. How to preserve crispy chicken. - Best when served after 5 minutes of cooling (after baking) to enjoy the crunch and juice. - Can refrigerate for up to 3 days. Put in the oven for 5 minutes 400 degrees F for the crisp to come back. If microwaved, the coating will be soft and soggy. You will not like that. - Can freeze for about 2 weeks, thaw in the fridge and bake with step 2 instructions. ![Crispy chicken drumsticks and fries on a black platter with ketchup.](https://cookingwithclaudy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/FB_IMG_1714800148511-300x300.jpg) #### To Season Chicken - ▢ 10 Chicken Drumsticks or any cuts - ▢ ¼ cup Ketchup - ▢ ½ tablespoon Ginger garlic paste - ▢ 1 teaspoon [Salt](https://amzn.to/3SHFoxD) - ▢ 1 tsp [Blackpepper](https://amzn.to/4fu8afb) - ▢ 1 tablespoon [Seasoning Powder](https://amzn.to/3DsndaS) I used chicken knorr seasoning - ▢ 2 tbsp [Soy sauce](https://amzn.to/3VvlgRa) - ▢ 1 tbsp [Hot Sauce](https://amzn.to/3RrYQOc) Optional - ▢ 3 tbsp [Olive oil](https://amzn.to/3WAJglo) or any cooking oil - ▢ 1 Egg #### To Coat Chicken - ▢ 2 cups [All purpose flour](https://amzn.to/3Rii7S9) - ▢ ¼ teaspoon [Blackpepper](https://amzn.to/4fu8afb) - ▢ 2 tablespoon [Cornstarch](https://amzn.to/41MT4v0) - ▢ 1 tsp [Salt](https://amzn.to/3SHFoxD) - ▢ 2 teaspoon [Paprika](https://amzn.to/3VgPSo5) - ▢ 1 teaspoon Chilli powder optional - ▢ 1 teaspoon Mixed herbs I used italian seasoning - ▢ 1 teaspoon Turmeric - ▢ 1 teaspoon [Garlic powder](https://amzn.to/4cbDdtv) - ▢ 2 Cups Water cold or room temperature - ▢ [Cooking oil](https://amzn.to/3VhfiSv) or melted butter - Preheat Oven to 400°F. - In a bowl, add chicken slices and season with the spices. Allow marinating for about 30 minutes. - In a separate bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and the rest of the coating ingredients and mix until well combined. - Add water in a cup, should be atleast 2 to 3 inches deep so chicken can easily drench in. - Take each chicken and coat with flour mixture, shaking off excess flour then drench in the water and coat again with flour mixture. Still shake off excess flour. - Transfer into a baking pan, and create a barrier between the chicken and the surface of the pan using a rack or greased baking mat or parchment paper. Leave space between each chicken and don't crowd pan. - When properly arranged on the pan, spray or rub oil (can use butter) on both sides of each chicken so it has that beautiful golden color. - Bake 400°F for 30 minutes. I didn't flip sides. But if needed, can flip halfway through. - After 30 minutes, remove from the oven, and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy\! - When soaking chicken in water, I avoid dipping my hands into the water, so as to avoid my fingers getting clumpy during coating with flour. Can also keep one hand for deeping into water and the other to coat with flour. ### Would you like to save this recipe? We'll email this recipe to you, so you can come back to it later\!
