做法

分步操作

1
In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, marinade vegetable oil, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme.
约 2分钟
2
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade and turn to coat them thoroughly.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 1小时
烹饪提示： 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).
约 10分钟
5
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off, and discard the remaining marinade.
约 2分钟
6
Place the all-purpose flour on a shallow plate and dredge each chicken piece, shaking off any excess flour.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 3分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 4分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 8分钟
10
Transfer the browned chicken to a wire rack set on a baking sheet.
约 2分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 30分钟
烹饪提示： 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.
约 5分钟
烹饪提示： Resting allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender piece of chicken.
