    Do you spray the chicken with the same oil you sprayed the pan with? This sounds amazing and can’t wait to try it.

    Why do my crust is coming off oven fried CHICKEN? Spraying pan with Pam. HELP ROSIE

      The breading is falling off? That shouldn’t be happening. Also, I didn’t use PAM. I used a regular vegetable oil. PAM is a not stick spray that has other ingredients other than just oil.

      It may be a little soggy at the bottom if not. Make sure you turn it several times while cooking.

    Good morning, it’s a a difference if I were to put the oil in a bowl and dip the chicken In it, instead of spraying the chicken? Just a thought on my mind. I can’t wait to try this! Thank you!

      The chicken already was dipped in egg, and hot sauce. If you were to follow up with oil after that it just won’t work as well. For best results follow the recipe listed.

    Hey! Could I bake the chicken at a lower temperature, 350, instead of 400? Or would that make the crust soggy?

    This oven fried chicken was delish! I only had Italian breadcrumbs & it was still good… adding the breadcrumbs made the chicken more crispy than using flour alone. Thank you Rosie.

    I really enjoyed this oven fried chicken. This is my new way of frying chicken. I can now relax when I get home from work instead of standing over a hot stove. I took an extra 20 minutes to cook. I do suggest to have a window or fan going because my apartment was smokey towards the end of cooking but taste good.

    Hi Rosie

    I posted before but didn’t recieve an answer. I was asking about the hot sauce you for your baked chicken. I can’t use hot sauce mild or otherwise. Is there any other coating I could use?

    Great video, easy to follow and understand. I’ve failed so often on fried chicken, I’d given up. The video and reading the comments with your replies has helped me immensely. I’m going to give it another shot. How embarrassing to live so far south and make such lousy fried chicken. But I have hope! Heehee!

    Can’t wait to try this recipe. I am 72 years old and learning to cook all over again. Love your recipes. Question..is there a easy way to cut the recipe down in amout due to me being single or should I just “hunker” down and get to eating. Us Southern Girls do love our fried chicken. Thanks for the great recipes!!!!!

    This chicken was absolutely DELICIOUS! Probably one of the few recipes that I have tried that turned out just like the picture. I followed the directions exactly and it came out perfect. I greatly appreciated no more hot grease poppin’ and mess to clean up! Healthier eating and easy to do – thank you Rosie!

    Made this tonight and it turned out great. I ran out of cooking spray and only coated lightly with oil. Big mistake. After 35 minutes in the over the chicken came out looking like it was covered with raw flour. To remedy I melted some coconut oil and brushed it on the liberally. 5 more minutes in the oven and the skin crisped up nicely

    Will definitely make again

    Hello Rosie,

    Can I use the 4lbs bag of mini chicken wings and flats instead? Do I need to double the ingredients since I’m using 4lbs? Will the brine also work for this using the same measurements? Thank you for all you do with the cooking vibe!!

    This recipe is amazingly good. Chicken thighs were plump and juicy and tasted great. I used about half of the hot sauce, and found that the dry ingredients were enough for about five pounds of chicken – otherwise the recipe is perfect. Will definitely make it again and again

    My wife doesn’t care for spicy food. Does the hot sauce just add flavor or is it bringing a lot of heat?

      I use a mild hot sauce, and its not really spicy. It adds flavor. However, if she is sensitive to spice, I would suggest skipping this one.
