Elkészítés

Lépésről lépésre

  1. 1

    In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, marinade vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.

    Körülbelül 2 p

  2. 2

    Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and turn to coat them thoroughly.

    Körülbelül 2 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: Ensure every piece of chicken is well-coated for the best flavor.

  3. 3

    Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to marinate for at least 1 hour.

    Körülbelül 1 ó

    A szakács megjegyzése: 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. 4

    Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

    Körülbelül 10 p

  5. 5

    Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.

    Körülbelül 2 p

  6. 6

    Place the all-purpose flour on a shallow plate and dredge each chicken piece, shaking off any excess flour.

    Körülbelül 5 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: A light, even coating of flour is key to a crispy, non-gummy crust.

  7. 7

    Heat the frying vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers.

    Körülbelül 3 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: The oil is ready when a pinch of flour sizzles immediately upon hitting the pan.

  8. 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.

    Körülbelül 4 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: Overcrowding the pan will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy, greasy chicken.

  9. 9

    Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until the chicken is golden brown all over.

    Körülbelül 8 p

  10. 10

    Transfer the browned chicken to a wire rack set on a baking sheet.

    Körülbelül 2 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: Using a wire rack allows air to circulate, keeping the bottom of the chicken crispy.

  11. 11

    Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear.

    Körülbelül 30 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: For accuracy, use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 74°C (165°F) in the thickest part.

  12. 12

    Let the chicken rest on the wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

    Körülbelül 5 p

    A szakács megjegyzése: Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender piece of chicken.

Újramelegítés
