Oven-Baked Curried Chicken
- 8 pieces To 10 Pieces Of Chicken (bone-in And Skin-on)
- Salt And Pepper, to taste
- Oil For Spritzing Or Brushing
- 1 cup Flour
- 13 cups Curry Powder (mild Or Spicy)
- 3/4 teaspoons Table Salt
- 1/4 teaspoons Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoons Cayenne Pepper (very Optional)
- About six hours before baking the chicken, liberally salt and pepper the pieces of chicken.
- Place the chicken on a sheet pan in a single layer and place the pan in the refrigerator.
- After about six hours, remove the chicken from the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- Line a sided sheet pan with some heavy-duty aluminum foil.
- Spray the foil with some cooking spray and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine the flour, curry powder, 3/4 teaspoon table salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
- Thoroughly dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture and place the chicken on the sprayed sheet pan, skin-side up.
- Spritz just enough oil on the top of each piece of chicken to slightly moisten the flour.
- Alternatively, you could lightly brush or dab on some oil on the top of each piece of chicken.
- Once the oven has preheated, bake the chicken for about 50 minutes for thighs (less for breasts and even less for wings).
- Special notes:
- I prefer to use the same cut of chicken when making this recipe.
- For example, I prepared this recipe using all chicken thighs (as pictured here) and they cooked in 50 minutes (to an internal temperature of 170F).
- If you use all chicken breasts, they will take about 40 minutes (to an internal temperature of 160F).
- Chicken wings taste GREAT but only need about 30 minutes.
- I do not like using mixed pieces of chicken (breasts, thighs, wings, etc.)
- because they cook at different rates and that makes it harder to not overcook or undercook some of the pieces.
- If you are thinking of frying the chicken in a skillet, dont!
- The curry powder will burn in the oil and youll have blackened chicken before it is cooked through.
- This recipe was not designed for shallow or deep frying.
- Prep time does not include time for marinating the chicken.
