Fried Chicken in the Oven

Oven fried chicken with jamaican jerk seasoning that’s crunchy, and moist! Spiced with Jamaican Jerk and jalapeno sauce, your family will love every bite!

Fried chicken in the oven can be crispy and delicious using this technique of first ‘flash frying’ to get the crisp. Draining the chicken then putting in the oven to finish off the cooking of it. Now we all love the crispy and crunchy, and this comes mainly with a dredging of the chicken in flour. Tenderizing it somewhat in the buttermilk will add to the flavor and tenderness.

Some recipes like this jamaican jerk oven fried chicken take some prep and getting your fingers sticky and gooey. Yes, there’s gonna be some clean up, dishes, a messy counter space and some other odds and ends. But, the outcome is well worth all the effort and time you put into it.

Using the two steps to this chicken will give you the great crust on the exterior. and with the chicken in the oven to continue the cooking you’ll get the tender juicy meat when you bite into it. You’re gonna think you’ve got fried chicken like grandma used to make deep frying it in maybe vegetable oil or lard back in the day. But this fried chicken in the oven is a great way to side step some of the full deep oil cooking.

This fried chicken in the oven with orange jalapeno sauce is the best ever.

Orange Jalapeno Sauce

The spicy orange jalapeno sauce is just an added plus to this chicken. Yep, orange jalapeno sauce is a bonus. You don’t ‘have’ to make it, but you’ll be glad you did! If you have something else that makes you happy, like buttermilk bleu cheese or ranch dressing/sauce/dip, that would be amazing, too. I serve this chicken with just a salad or a light vegetable side. No gravies, sauces or anything to mask the Mother Earth vegetable flavor~peas, roasted zucchini or squash, steamed or roasted asparagus, succotash. I figure with all the crispy on the chicken I’ve got the carbs covered!
