This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic fried chicken, featuring a flavorful herb-infused coating and a crispy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, paprika, salt, pepper, dry mustard, thyme, ginger, and oregano until well mixed.
Mix the dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Store the coating mixture in an airtight container if not using immediately.
Keeping the mixture in an airtight container preserves its freshness.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create the batter.
Whisk the eggs and milk until fully combined for a smooth batter.
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Allow any excess batter to drip off before coating with the flour mixture.
Place the coated chicken into the ziplock bag with the flour mixture and shake until evenly coated.
Shaking the chicken in the bag ensures an even coating.
Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chicken until golden brown on all sides.
Maintain a consistent oil temperature for even frying.
Transfer the fried chicken to a baking dish and bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the crispy fried chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Serving the chicken immediately ensures it remains crispy and delicious.
