Betty's Southern Oven-Fried Chicken Breast Recipe

In this video, Betty describes how she makes her delectable Southern Oven-Fried Chicken recipe. It is crispy and delicious and very easy to make!

Ingredients:

2 pounds uncooked chicken breast meat (cut to make 4 equal-sized breast pieces)
meat tenderizer to taste
1 cup of flour (for dredging)
ground black pepper to taste
3 tablespoons cooking oil

With kitchen shears, cut off all excess fat, tendons, and gristle from the uncooked chicken and discard. Divide the 2 pounds of chicken into 4 equal-sized pieces. Sprinkle meat tenderizer (which takes the place of salt) on the top and bottom of each piece of chicken. Pour 3 tablespoons of peanut oil into and iron (or similar) skillet, and begin to heat it. (Watch it carefully, so that it doesn't smoke or burn.) Meanwhile, place 1 cup of flour in a zip-lock bag and place each piece of chicken (one-at-a-time), shake to coat the chicken with the flour, and place each piece of chicken into the hot peanut oil. When each piece is brown on the bottom, turn it, until all four pieces are turned. Immediately move the skillet of chicken to an oven that has been preheated to 400 degrees, and place the skillet on the center rack. Cook for about 25 minutes, or until done to your desired crispness. Remove the skillet from the oven and place it back on the cooktop. Immediately remove the 4 cooled chicken pieces to a tray covered with paper toweling to drain any excess grease. Place the 4 pieces of crisp, delicious chicken on a serving platter. Better than any prepared chicken you can buy, and much healthier for you!

Menu suggestion: Serve Betty's Southern Fried Chicken Gravy with this chicken.

I've made this a couple times, and areas of the chicken keep coming out soggy. I'm cooking it according to the video, and using a cast iron skillet. Any idea what I am doing wrong? Am I using too much flour?

[bettyskitchen]

@overdrive2023x It seems like the temperature is too low. Try increasing the temperature, and I don't think any of the chicken will be soggy!

@countryconspiracy I keep clean jars under my sink--like from mayonnaise or Italian sauce. I put oil that I don't plan to re-use in them until each is full, and then it goes in the garbage. It is very neat and clean.
