Almond Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together the almond flour, cornstarch, garlic, paprika, thyme, cayenne, 1 tablespoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow dish. Pour the buttermilk into another dish. Dredge the chicken pieces in the almond flour mixture, dip in the buttermilk and then dredge again in the flour mixture. Place the chicken on a rimmed baking sheet and refrigerate for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until some flour dropped in turns golden right away. Add the chicken, reduce the heat to medium-low and fry until deep golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees F, about 18 minutes, turning every few minutes. Remove the chicken to a cooling rack or paper towels to drain. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• In medium bowl, stir together flour, salt, pepper and paprika. In separate small bowl, lightly beat eggs and milk. Place almonds in shallow dish or on sheet of waxed paper.
• Coat chicken with flour mixture. Dip in egg mixture; roll in almonds. Let chicken stand 5 to 10 minutes.
• In shallow baking pan, melt butter and shortening in heated oven. Place coated chicken in pan.
• Bake 30 minutes. Turn chicken; bake 15 to 20 minutes longer or until juice of chicken is clear when thickest pieces are cut to bone (at least 165°F).

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°.
• In flat pie plate, stir together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, almonds, parsley, garlic, thyme and salt and pepper.
• Pour oil into another pie plate and dip chicken.
• Place chicken in crumb mixture to coat, then place on cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non stick spray.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until juices run clear when thickest part of chicken is pierced with tip of knife.
• Do not turn chicken over.

Steps:

• Boned chicken breasts are thicker on one side than on the other. To make them more uniform, slice horizontally through the thick part and lay the meat "open". Do not cut the thinned section from the rest of the breast meat. Pound both sides with back of cleaver. One side will be smoother than the other. Mix light soy, sherry, salt and white pepper together and mix in chicken meat. Set aside 20 minutes. Wash and drain lettuce. Shred. Finely chop toasted almonds. Make sauce: Mix 4 T. cornstarch and 3 T. water in saucepan until smooth. Gradually mix in broth, butter, soy sauce, and bouillon. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Let boil for about 1 minute; reduce heat and keep warm. Make batter: Beat together 3 T. cornstarch, flour, baking powder, egg, and water until smooth. Coat chicken with batter and cook 5-7 minutes in 375* oil until golden brown. Drain chicken on paper towels. Cut cooked chicken into strips, put on bed of shredded lettuce and sprinkle with finely chopped almonds and green onions. Spoon on sauce and serve with steamed or fried rice.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a medium bowl, season bread crumbs with salt and pepper. Place eggs in a small bowl with 2 teaspoons water, and beat lightly. Dip chicken in egg, wiping away excess with your fingers, and dip in bread-crumb mixture. Dredge until lightly coated. Dip in egg again, and coat thoroughly with almonds.
• Heat butter and oil in a 12-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until nicely browned, about 3 minutes, and turn over. Cook 1 minute more; then transfer pan to oven, and bake until chicken is cooked through, about 10 minutes.
