How to Make Bartolo S Oven Fried Chicken

  1. Whisk together 1 cup buttermilk, 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon hot sauce in a shallow glass dish until well blended.
  2. Add chicken pieces (about 2 lbs) and turn to coat completely.
  3. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 8 hours for maximum flavor.
  4. Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
  5. Line a baking sheet with foil.
  6. Place a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it lightly with cooking spray.
  7. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, 1 tablespoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  8. Place the flour mixture in a large paper bag or sealable plastic bag.
  9. Remove chicken pieces from marinade, shaking off excess. Add one or two pieces of chicken at a time to the bag, and shake to coat evenly.
  10. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess flour. Place coated chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
  11. Lightly spray chicken pieces with cooking spray.
  12. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  13. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!

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!
