This is a relatively fool proof method for making fried chicken, pork cutlets, chicken-fried steak, and the like. The trick is baking in the oven in melted butter. It was adapted from https://www.101cookingfortwo.com/oven-fried-pork-tenderloin-sandwiches/

Ingredients For oven fried chicken parts, pork cutlets, etc.

  • 1/2 stick
    butter
  • 1/2-1 lb
    chicken parts, pork cutlets, as desired
  • 1 qt
    egg
  • 1 Tbsp
    water
  • 1/3-1/2 c
    flour
  • 1/3-1/2 c
    panko bread crumbs
  • various seasonings to taste

How To Make oven fried chicken parts, pork cutlets, etc.

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350F (convection) or 375F (no fan). Heat in oven a griddle with raised edge or pan wide enough to hold the meat with room between the pieces.
  • 2
    Prepare meat for coating, e.g. cut chicken into pieces, pound and cube cutlets, etc.
  • 3
    When griddle or pan is hot, place 1/2 stick butter on the pan and allow to melt and brown a bit while preparing the egg and crumbs and coating the pieces.
  • 4
    In a shallow dish, beat egg and water with a fork until smooth. In another shallow dish, mix together flour, crumbs and desired seasoning. A typical seasoning mix for chicken might be salt, pepper, dried mixed herbs, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. Pork seasoning can be as plain as salt and pepper.
  • 5
    Dip each piece of chicken or pork in the egg and then coat with the flour/crumb mixture.
  • 6
    Place the coated pieces in the hot melted butter on the griddle or pan. Chicken thighs and breasts should be placed skin-side down. Return to oven and bake 20 minutes. Flip the pieces and cook an additional 10 minutes. If cooking large pieces of chicken use a thermometer to make sure their internal temperature is at least 165F. The chicken will remain moist even if the temperature is 200F.
