How to Make Amish Baked Fried Chicken
- Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 1 cup milk and 2 large eggs.
- In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 cup cracker crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- Dip each chicken piece (about 2 lbs total, cut into 8 pieces) into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
- Dredge the chicken in the cracker crumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Use a spoon to fully coat each piece.
- Melt 1/4 cup butter in a heavy cast iron skillet (or oven-safe skillet) over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the chicken pieces in the skillet, browning well on both sides for about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Cover the skillet with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for an additional 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
