Best Chicken Recipes

A good, quick and easy fried chicken recipe.?

I am looking for a decent fried chicken recipe/preparation. I have about just over an hour to prepare it, I only have chicken drumsticks and thighs and basic kitchen ingredients, I dont intend to deep fry, just shallow frying. Will appreciate preparations, recipes, cooking instructions and timing.

EASY CACCIATORE Serving Size : 4 1 can Tomatoes 1/2 cup Parsley -- minced 1 teaspoon Basil 1 teaspoon Salt 10 milliliter Garlic -- minced 1/4 teaspoon Pepper To every 3 lbs chicken: cook in enough oil to brown. Brown chicken in oil and remove from pan; slice an onion and cook in drippings until soft. Then add the above listed ingredients to the pan. Put chicken back in pan and let it simmer for about 40 min uncovered, turning the chicken once in a while.
3. Season the chicken very well. I like lemon pepper and poultry seasoning with some seasoned salt. Marinate the chicken in eggs and buttermilk. Dip the chicken in self-rising flour dip once more in the milk mixture and shake in a paper bag with seasoned flour. Hope you like.
4. Cajun Oven-Fried Chicken: Panko, fresh crunchy Japenese breadcumbs, can be found at Asian markets. They produce the crispest oven-fried chicken, so it's worth the effort. You can try curry powder in place of the Cajun seasoning. 1/3 cup low-fat buttermilk 1 tablespoon salt-free Cajun seasoning (such as Spice Hunter) 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs) 2 chicken breast halves (about 1 pound), skinned 2 chicken drumsticks (about1/2 pound), skinned 2 chicken thighs (about 1/2 pound), skinned Cooking spray Preheat oven to 400°. Combine first 3 ingredients in a shallow dish. Place panko in a shallow dish. Dip chicken, one piece at a time, into buttermilk mixture; dredge in panko. Place chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. Bake at 400° for 40 minutes or until done, turning after 20 minutes. Yield: 4 servings (serving size: 1 breast half or 1 thigh and 1 drumstick)
5. Easy Oven Fried Chicken Preheat oven to 425° 3/4 C Bisquick baking mix 1 T butter salt, pepper to taste (I use Nature's Season by Morton, or can add garlic powder and/or onion powder) Paprika Mix dry ingredients in a zip type baggie. Place chicken pieces in bag, shake to coat thoroughly. Melt butter in 13 x 9 pan in oven. Place chicken, skin sides down, in pan. Bake for 35 minutes. Turn chicken over and bake an additional 15 mins or until chicken is cooked through. Simple, almost no clean up, and very good!
6. This is the most basic and works every time: Heat grease (not oil) such as Crisco plain to medium high, then: 2 Cups of Flour 1 Tablespoon (yeah, tablespoon) of salt ½ Tablespoon of pepper Place in paper bag and shake well. Rinse chicken with skin and toss in paper bag and shake. Place in grease gently and crowd pieces together. Cook until light brown on one side, turn over and cover. Once brown on the second side, remove cover and turn over chicken again and cook open until done. Be sure to drain them on a wire rack instead of paper towels.
