Oven Fried Chicken (Air Fried Chicken)

Fried chicken is my favorite food!! But I never fry at home, so when I crave fried chicken I make it in the oven or Air Fryer! That is if you want to eat healthy food but don’t sacrifice flavor, your family will love it! Peel the chicken, cover with the Dijon mayonnaise mixture that makes it tender, and coat with bran flakes seasoned with salt, pepper, cayenne pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

How to make healthy fried chicken in the oven

I start by removing the skin, and coat the chicken with ground and seasoned grains like bran flakes. The key to getting crispy chicken is to place a wire cooling rack over a baking tray lined with aluminum foil. This way hot air can circulate under the chicken to make sure it cooks evenly, and the outside layer of chicken juices won’t seep out.

What do you serve with fried chicken?

This fried chicken will be delicious and served with corn on the cob, stuffed mashed cauliflower, Broccoli and double grilled potato cheese, or Mashed sweet potatoes. For some veggie ideas, try Roasted Brussels sprouts with balsamic shallots or Green Beans, Roasted Parmesan.

Differences:

swap, barter – Substitute chicken thighs or chicken breasts.
swap, barter – Bran flakes for corn flakes.
No food processor, no problem. If you don’t have a food processor, place the bran flakes in a plastic bag and crush them with a hammer or heavy tin.
milder plates – Feel free to omit the chili if you don’t want the chicken to be spicy.
sodium – This recipe calls for kosher salt, which is less salty than regular table salt. If you’re watching your sodium intake, feel free to reduce the amount, and if you’re not using kosher, start with a teaspoon of regular salt.
gluten free – To make this gluten-free “fried” chicken, place bran flakes in Rice Chex or gluten-free panko.
Air Fryer – To prepare the air fryer, cook the chicken in two batches at 400 degrees for 22-24 minutes.
