Try your hand at some spicy oven fried chicken for dinner tonight! This spicy oven fried chicken gets its flavor from the spicy marinade. So be sure to marinate your chicken first thing in the morning or the night before so your chicken has enough time to soak up the spices. Serve it up with Spanish rice with black beans and corn, or Crockpot Mac and Cheese for a hearty and satisfying combo or for a lighter choice, sautee some fresh zucchini and Roma tomatoes!
Spicy Oven Fried Chicken
This delicious Spicy Oven Fried Chicken was a recipe I came across many years ago. I saved it forever in my recipe printouts and finally pulled it out to make it. A very important step is to marinate for the time suggested; I put mine in the marinade in the morning. You could really taste the spice in the meat and the crispy coating was delicious.
Ingredients for Spicy Oven Fried Chicken
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup hot pepper sauce
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
- 1 cup dry breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons onion powder

Helpful Kitchen Tools
Making Spicy Oven Fried Chicken
- In a medium bowl, mix the buttermilk and hot pepper sauce. Place chicken in the mixture to coat. Cover, and marinate in the refrigerator 8 hours or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a separate medium bowl, mix dry bread crumbs, flour, onion powder, cornstarch, white sugar, garlic salt, salt, pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Thoroughly coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, and cook chicken 5 to 7 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
- Transfer chicken to a medium baking dish, and bake in the preheated oven 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear.
- The time on the baking was right on. I actually baked mine a little longer because I wasn’t quite done with the rice etc, I should have turned it off and removed it from the oven. It would have been juicier. But again, that was my fault, I left it in about 15 minutes longer than the recipe suggested. It was still very tasty and had a great spicy flavor. Thumbs up!

Randy Gollihugh says
Baking in the oven will it all be crispy or will the bottom be mushy
Amanda Formaro says
If the chicken pieces are fatty it can become a bit mushy on the bottom. Try turning them halfway through baking.
