Crispy Chicken Recipe




Who said chicken has to be fried to be crispy? Oven fried chicken is just as crispy and delicious as pan fried chicken and contains less fat.

This oven fried chicken recipe is so simple, delicious and crisp, that it will have you rethinking the way you make chicken.

 Try this savory recipe for your next picnic, a delicious weeknight meal or movie night.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds of chicken, skin on
  • 2 cups plain Panko crumbs
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 3 tbsp salt
  • 1 tbsp pepper
  • 3 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp paprika
  • 1 tbsp sage
  • 1/2 tbsp oregano
  • 1 tbsp basil
  • 1 tsp tarragon
  • 1 tbsp marjoram
  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1 cup milk
  • Cooking spray


Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

2. In a bowl, add the Panko crumbs. Next, add the cornstarch, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, sage, oregano, basil, tarragon and marjoram.

 Using your hands, or a fork, thoroughly mix the dry ingredients together. Set the dry ingredients aside.

3. In a separate bowl, add the eggs. Now, add the milk. Whisk the eggs and milk together until well incorporated. Season the egg and milk mixture with salt and pepper, if you’d like.

4. Dip a piece of the chicken into the egg wash. Be sure to coat the entire piece of chicken in the egg mixture. Dredge the coated chicken into the Panko crumbs, coating it well, so that no skin is showing. Shake off the excess Panko crumbs.


5. Dip the Panko coated chicken back into the egg mixture a second time. Lastly, dip the chicken back into the Panko crumbs. Shake off the excess Panko crumbs. Set the coated chicken on a raised rack on top of a cookie sheet.

 Continue this process with each piece of chicken until each piece is thoroughly coated in the egg mixture and Panko crumbs.

6. Once each piece of chicken is thoroughly coated, 
place them in an even layer on top of the raised rack. Spray the top of the breaded chicken with cooking spray. This will help the chicken crisp up in the oven.

7. Place the raised rack on top of the cookie sheet, into the oven. Bake the chicken for about 40-50 minutes or until each piece is gold and crispy. Remove the chicken from the oven. Let the chicken stand for about 5-10 minutes. Serve.



Serve this crispy, oven fried chicken alone or with honey mustard, ranch, barbeque sauce, or your favorite condiment. Serve with a side of mashed potatoes and corn, or your favorite sides, for a complete meal.

For an even healthier version of this recipe, simply substitute the chicken with the skin for boneless, skinless chicken breasts. For a kid-friendly version, try this recipe with boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins

Bezos, Dell invest in Qliance

Under the ‘I didn’t see this one coming’ category, we find that Jeff Bezos, Michael Dell and Drew Carey (from the ‘one of these things is not like the others’ category) announced an investment in the Seattle-based medical home provider Qliance. 

Found the mention of Tech Flash (thanks, Priest).

While the Alliance medical home model is one I have strongly advocated, I have my reservations about the extent to which they can be broadly successful in the areas where we need it the most: caring for patients living with chronic conditions.

 Yes, I’m sure they can provide great services for the large majority of young, healthy people, but their contribution to the overall health care dollar is relatively small (depending on who you ask between 5% and 10%).

But when it comes to advancing chronic care management, you need a medical home that is not silo’d off from the rest of the continuity of care.

Quite the contrary, the medical home needs to be the fulcrum around which all care is managed. Yes, I know some think ‘managed’ an ill-advised word to use – loaded as it is with 1980’s ‘managed care’ baggage.

 However, that’s exactly what’s needed to ensure the appropriate care is provided and care is truly coordinated to reduce errors and duplication of effort.


Don’t quite see how the Qliance model works in the big bad world of chronic care management, but I like the concept.
