Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and turn to coat them thoroughly.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: Ensure every piece of chicken is well-coated for the best flavor.
- 3
Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour.
Oko 1 h
Napomena kuhara: You can marinate for up to 4 hours for a more intense lemon flavor, but don't go longer as the acid can affect the texture.
- 4
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).
Oko 10 min
- 5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
Oko 2 min
- 6
Place the all-purpose flour on a shallow plate and dredge each chicken piece, shaking off any excess flour.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: A light, even coating of flour is key to a crispy, non-gummy crust.
- 7
Heat the frying vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.
Oko 3 min
Napomena kuhara: The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately upon hitting the pan.
- 8
Carefully place the chicken pieces in the hot oil in a single layer, skin-side down. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
Oko 4 min
Napomena kuhara: Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy, greasy chicken.
- 9
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown all over.
Oko 8 min
- 10
Transfer the browned chicken to a wire rack set on a baking sheet.
Oko 2 min
Napomena kuhara: Using a wire rack allows air to circulate, keeping the bottom of the chicken crispy.
- 11
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.
Oko 30 min
Napomena kuhara: For accuracy, use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part.
- 12
Let the chicken rest on the wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Oko 5 min
Napomena kuhara: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender piece of chicken.
