Tips
To replicate the deliciousness of Anniebell's Famous Oven Fried Chicken, consider these tips:
1. **Marination**: Allow the chicken to marinate in a blend of buttermilk and spices for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. This enhances flavor and tenderness.
2. **Seasoning**: Use a mix of traditional soul food spices, including paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper, to give your chicken a flavorful kick.
3. **Breading**: Coat the chicken in a combination of seasoned flour and cornmeal. This blend provides a crispy texture when baked.
4. **Oven Temperature**: Preheat your oven to 425°F. A higher temperature helps achieve that sought-after crunchy exterior.
5. **Cooking Method**: Arrange the chicken on a wire rack set over a baking sheet to allow hot air to circulate, resulting in even cooking and crispiness.
6. **Resting Time**: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to maintain juiciness before serving.
Enjoy the comfort of soul food at home!
