Crispy Juicy Oven-Fried Chicken Breasts

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Juicy Oven-Fried Chicken Breasts.

1. Step 1

   To start your delicious chicken dish, grab a large resealable plastic bag and add the chicken breasts along with the buttermilk.

2. Step 2

   Give the bag a good knead to ensure every piece of chicken is well-coated, then squeeze out the air and seal it tightly.

3. Step 3

   Pop the bag in the refrigerator and let the chicken marinate for at least an hour—this step is key for tender, flavorful meat.

4. Step 4

   While the chicken is soaking up all that goodness, preheat your oven to a cozy 400°F (200°C).

5. Step 5

   Next, prepare your coating station: in a shallow bowl, pour in the crushed herb-seasoned stuffing mix, and in another flat dish, combine flour, salt, and black pepper.

6. Step 6

   In a separate bowl, whisk together an egg and a splash of water until well blended.

7. Step 7

   Now, let’s get to the fun part! Pour peanut oil into the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking pan, creating a lovely base for your chicken.

8. Step 8

   Once the marinating time is up, take the chicken out of the buttermilk, letting any excess drip off, and discard the marinade.

9. Step 9

   Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally, press it into the stuffing mix to create a delightful, crunchy coating.

10. Step 10

    Place the coated chicken breasts in the baking pan with the peanut oil, making sure they’re nicely arranged.

11. Step 11

    Bake your chicken in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, then carefully flip each piece over.

12. Step 12

    Continue baking until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center, which should take another 25 minutes or so.

13. Step 13

    The result? Crispy, golden-brown chicken that’s sure to impress! Enjoy every bite of this mouthwatering dish.
