chicken gone wrong

User: Anonymous User Rating:
I followed the recipe except for using the right temp for frying so that might be why my chicken came out oily and soggy. I'm a big fan but this recipe did not go well with my family
More work than fried chicken!

This recipe is just as greasy as fried chicken minus the taste and actually requires more work!!! I'd Rather stick to either fried or baked then go thru the trouble again.
Never had chicken so moist...

This chicken was so moist & juicy.... unbelievable! I used the powdered buttermilk + water instead of wasting the rest of a quart of regular buttermilk. I used drumsticks & thighs (bone-in/skinless) and left them in the buttermilk for 6 hours because of time. It was wonderful! It does need more seasoning but you won't regret trying this recipe!
Southern girl approved!!!

Being from the South, I have eaten tons of fried chicken and tried tons of recipes for fried chicken. Most of them did not taste quite right. This recipe was by far the best and easiest recipe ever! Try it and you will love it! An A++++ winner! Thank you, Ina!
Needed some extra spices

Saw the reviews here so I took the chicken out of the buttermilk, drained it a bit, then rubbed down with a mixture of paprika, salt, garlic powder and cayenne (stolen from Alton Brown). Then I followed the rest of this recipe. The buttermilk makes the chicken almost melt in your mouth. Baking made the chicken much less greasy. My family said it was the best fried chicken I've ever served them.
Make sure to spice it to your taste

This is an excellent recipie and method for fried chicken. You must remeber though that Ina states that she prefers it 'Simple" in this episode. If you really want to taste the spices you have to add a lot to both the buttermilk and flour. It took two tries for me the first being good but a bit bland. After following another reviewers suggestion I added salt, garlic and paprika to the buttemilk and marinated it over night. I also heavily spiced the flour with Lawreys salt, Lawreys garlic powder, and cayanne pepper. It came out excellently - packed full of flavor. Having your oil at 360 is a must to get proper browning and to stop crust from falling off - take your oil to 380 the first batch - you will see it drops significantly. Best of all you can have a large gathering and the chicken all comes out at the same time.
Grrr..

This recipe was delicious in flavor & easy to make: However, I tried it twice and still couldn't figure out how to keep the crust on the chicken. It just flakes off every time, which became a point of frustration for me. I did add hot sauce to the buttermilk mix & cayenne to the flour mix. (We like a little kick.) This was a tasty addition.
Holy cow! I mean chicken....

This chicken rocks. I did cut down a little on the salt and then added about a 1/2 tsp or so of Tony's seasoning for a little more flavor. It was awesome. You do need the rack to cook them on in the oven. I had to use a baking sheet and the bottom got brown and not so crispy. Still good the next day, and the next, and the next.

This was my first attempt at fried chicken and it turned out fabulous! I actually used boneless/skinless chicken breasts for this recipe and added some Tony Chachere's to the buttermilk along with a couple of cloves of sliced garlic. Then when I started to batter the chicken I also added some Tony Chachere's to the flour mixture. This made for a little bit of a kick to the breading. It really was great and the chicken was very moist.
Love it!!!

As a first time fryer, I read every review twice and made my adjusments. I did add sliced garlic to the butter milk along with a table spoon of koshier salt and pepper. I used boneless chicken breasts that I cut into strips. Added extra salt, peper and garlic powder to the flour mixture. I took the advice of making sure the oil was at 360 every time before adding the chicking and had no trouble with the frying process. The family was WOWED by this recipe. I will be making this again very soon.

My husband and I LOVED this recipe. We both like things a bit on the spicy side, so I added some Emeril Essence to the flour mix - it was awesome! As far as the concern of "rather blah" I never knew anyone who didn't have a side of gravy with their fried chiken - problem solved. To keep things simple I use McCormick COUNTRY GRAVY MIX and it was a huge hit!

For those of you that feel its rather blah, step it up a notch - surprised no one mentione this. Instead of frying it in 1" or so of oil use just a quarter inch or so browning/crisp to the same color on each side,then into oven. pour off excess oil in pan leaving the brown bits. Simply deglaze the pan with white wine, add chicken/veal stock reduce half add butter (cream if want heavier sauce) . perfect and easy - enjoy Fred

I have never been able to make chicken as good as my Mom does, and with Ina's recipe I finally found one rival what my Mom makes. It's quite delicious, and I like that you don't have to stand over the stove tending to it. Once you brown it you let the oven do the rest. It was tender, juicy, and delicious.

User: Jo Ann from Nashville, TN User Rating:
Great recipe. I always have a problem getting fried chicken cooked through when I fry it. The oven was a good way to get even cooking without burning. I did add poultry seasoning to the salt but I think seasonings are a personal taste and everyone should add them as desired. Frying only three minutes and then into the oven allowed me to continue with the rest of my meal instead of standing over hot oil trying not to get spattered and guessing which piece of chicken should come out when. Thanks for another enjoyable recipe.

User: Sly from Alpena, MI User Rating:
After reading all of the reviews where some said the chicken was too "Bland". I changed the method of making this chicken. First, i used Emeril's method(EM0714) of Seasoning the chicken by putting his Essence in the buttermilk and letting the chicken marinade in the buttermilk for 24hrs, and taking it out of the refrigerator 4hrs before cooking it, along with putting Emeril's Essence in the flour. But, i used Barefoot Contessa's method of cooking this chicken. This is a "KEEPER".

This is absolutely the juiciest chicken I have ever made. I took the advice of some of the previous reviews and added salt, paprika, pepper and crushed garlic to my buttermilk marinade. Wow de wow what great flavors. Super messy with breading chicken in the flour will use a paper bag next time. Highly recommend placing chicken on a metal rack after frying to get rid of some of the excess grease before baking in the oven. Thanks Ina

I JUST ABOUT GAVE UP FRYING CHICKEN BECAUSE I COULD NOT MAKE IT AS GOOD AS KFC UNTIL I TRIED THIS LAST NIGHT. oH MY MY, MARINATING THE CHICKEN IN THE BUTTERMILK (ALONG WITH PLENTY OF SLICED GARLIC, SALT AND HOT SAUCE)WAS THE KEY TO THIS RECIPE. THE CHICKEN TASTED LIKE IT HAD BEEN SLOW COOKING FOR HOURS. TENDER, MOIST AND PRACTICALLY FALLINF OFF THE BONE. FINISHING IT IN THE OVEN MADE IT NOT GREASY AT ALL. BY FAR THE BEST FRIED CHICKEN OR ANY CHICKEN RECIPE I HAVE EVER HAD. I WAS CONCERNED WHEN THEY CAME OUT OF THE OVEN THAT THE BOTTOMS WERE SOFT BUT AS IT TURNED OUT IT DID NOT MATTER ONE BIT. CRUNCHY, MOIST TEXTURE MADE IT INDESCRIBABLY DELICIOUS!! IF YOU LIKE FRIED CHICKEN YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS!
Awesome!!

I used chicken breasts and only did the marinade for an hour. I did add some additional seasoning but I found this recipe to be VERY TASTY and so simple. I love to entertain and hate to be involved with being tied down to a dish when company arrives. This can be in the oven cooking while you are free to serve appetizers or finish last minute dishes stress free and this is sure to be a crowd pleaser. For some of you, yes, it's as much fried as oven roasted but take it from a happy, chubby wife - sometimes you just have to enjoy the finer things in life - like fried chicken!

This method is really a good one for making fried chicken that is actually done inside! I made small modifications to the recipe. I added more spices to my flour than salt and pepper. I also salted and peppered and spiced the chicken *before* breading it. I like a lot of flavor.

Followed every step exactly, including the temp of the oil (I sometimes don't have patience) and it was perfect. Had company for dinner and 4 elementary age grandsons that couldn't get enough. Was worried I wouldn't have grease to make gravy but after frying 3 different batches before going in the oven, I had what I needed (always have to have chicken gravy at my house). This will be my new fried chicken recipe for sure.

My Mother has made a recipe similar to this for 60 years. In fact, it was the meal of choice every Sunday for many years, because the chicken could be cooking while the family was at church. She never soaked her chicken, and instead of deep-frying, she coated the chicken in seasoned flour and browned it in a skillet. Then she slow cooked it in the oven in a greased, heavy aluminum, covered roaster pan. She didn't always leave the skin on the chicken, and the coating wasn't 'crispy'... but the flavor and moist, tenderness couldn't be beat.

Wow!! I made this for dinner (served with mashed potatoes and peas) and my Husband was in heaven. I did make a few alterations, thanks to another reviewer,Bill from Asheville- I used a fresh Kosher Chicken (they are just so much juicier than regular to me for some reason)and I soaked them in the buttermilk overnight, along with 2 tbls. of salt, a generous dash of paprika and several sliced garlic cloves. Holy moly! my fridge smelled like KFC just from the marinade! I knew they were going to be SO good after that. Crispy, juicy, flavorful- kind of a mess, but a great way to impress guests at a casual gathering. I also used peanut oil to fry the chicken- it is so much healthier than lard, no cholesterol and no trans fats- yes it still has calories, but at least it won't clog my arteries!! Plus,peanut oil tastes great, and it works well because it has a high smoke point.

I made this recipe for our Sunday lunch. Everybody said the chicken was tender and juicy. I left it overnight just like the recipe said, but I just added seasoned salt and complete seasoning to the chicken. Even though you do fried the chicken, I do not think is deep fried. I left it only 3 minutes on each side and then took them out. The oven did the rest of the cooking. I think this one is a keeper.
very good

I have to agree with a review that it was a little bland and needed something so I added granulated garlic to the flour and then it tasted great. I also agree with another review that said,"This IS fried chicken". How is it not fried chicken? You're frying it until it is browned. Anyway, I like it. Actually, we have made it a regular menu item in our house. The chicken is tender and the crust is crispy and flavorful.

Well Ina, you've done it again!!! This was great! The only change I made was to add more seasonings to the flour (garlic salt, red pepper, etc.) and the chicken was AWESOME!!! Lots of flavor. I also let the chicken sit in the buttermilk for a day and 1/2, made a big difference. Enjoy!
Delicious!

I did my buttermilk the way that Bill from Asheville,NC suggested & it was delicious! Next time I think that I will only put 1/4 c of salt. I did everything else the way that Ina suggested & it turned out great! Just be sure not to get it too brown during the frying process, because it may get way to brown in the oven, some of mine did. The white meat was very moist. I will definately make over & over.
SOOOO GOOD!

I love trying new 'fried' chicken recipes. This is a keeper!! We like our chicken spicy so I added garlic powder, Lawry's seasoned salt, doubled the amount of black pepper and added a little cayenne to the flour. The chicken comes out beautifully brown, yet very moist. Plus all the oil just drains away! This has to be healthier than the traditional fried chicken. I love trying Ina's recipes.

I recently tried to prepare the recipe for the oven-fried chicken....it was the worst. I followed that recipe exactly how Contessa prepared it on the show, even writing down the tips she gave while preparing the meal. I was so excited I could'nt wait to start cooking, I even promised my co-workers I'd cook enough for them too. Needless to say the dish was a total flop.....I wanted to cry. I wanted my meal to look like it did on the show. I wasted my money and had throw everthing out. I work for the public and I always speak so highly about the show... I not sure anymore. I love to hear from Contessa herself. Maybe she can tell me what I did wrong????

after preparing this recipe from Ina. Although I am a experienced cook, I just never have been able to "get" fried chicken to turn out as well as I would of liked. Well, can stop here! Kept the temp of pot at exactly 360 degrees, did not crowd pan, roasted on a rack so extra fat would drop down below the chicken. Drained a bit on paper towel after taking from oven, but not greasy at all, and the taste was sensational! Crispy, seasoned perfectly, and delightfully appealing!

The Key

User: BILL from Asheville, NC User Rating:
to all really good fried chicken is to get the seasoning to "strike" through to the bone as your grandmother would say. In this recipe that can accomplished by desolving a generous 1/2 cup of kosher salt and 1 T sugar in the buttermilk. Of course adding 1 T of paprika and a couple of cloves of garlic (pasted)to the buttermilk brine makes it the perfect vehicle for delivering a perfectly seasoned piece of chicken. Another advantage to brining the chicken is that it can be done in 2 to 3 hours and should not be done overnight, plus you don't have to season the flour. Also, only one chicken for this amount of brine. Once properly seasoned, the method is on the money.

I tried this recipe over the weekend, and the chicken came out very good. The only comment I would make is that 1 tablespoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of pepper is not going to cut it for close to six pounds of chicken (especially when you are dredging large pieces), so I doubled it (nearly tripled that), along with adding other spices I ususally use when making fried chicken(i.e. sweet paprika, etc.). Thanks Ina, you've done it again.

First time making fried chicken. The skin was crispy and batter stayed on the chicken....but this definitely, as mentioned in other reviews, needs more flavor. I put a lot more salt/pepper than called for and everyone said it still needed more flavor. I think we may stick to KFC unless they really want me to make it again.

This is the most delicious chicken I've ever cooked! It's moist and juicy and the crust is incredible! THE KIDS LOVE IT! I took 4 frozen, skinless chicken breasts and let them soak in buttermilk for 3 days (because I forgot about them). Next time I'll cut them into strips before I fry them because we love the crust so much and want more! It's not healthy but it's sure good comfort food!!!!

Whenever my husband says more than "That was good",about a food I have prepared, then, I know I have found a really wonderful recipe! The day I prepared Ina's Oven-fried Chicken, my husband just could not say enough about how tasty and tender, and juicy it was. I shared some with our neighbor and good friend, Evelyn, and she used the word "succulent". I watch Ina Garten every opportunity I have because she demonstrates attainable entertaining with flair and good taste. Not to mention the delicious-looking recipes that look so elegant, but, easily prepared. I don't watch soaps or any of the new series on tv. We are mostly living in the past as far as tv-watching, but, the Food network is addicting! Even my husband will watch it with me occasionally. It is entertaining and full of useful information. Thank you, Mrs. Barbara Hendrickson Horn Lake, MS

The concept of this recipe is good. However, the finished product, even with very careful attention to temp. frying and baking, came out slightly soggy on the bottom. In my opinion some additional flavor is needed in the flour mixture to offset the bite of the buttermilk. Seemed to take over. I will still use this but will make adjustments in procedure.

I've always fumbled at making fried chicken at home, but this was so easy and it really tasted "Southern Style" like Grandma's - and really juicy. I suggest adding a bit more pepper for some kick.

I will prefecae this review by saying that I am not experienced in the kitchen. My husband actually does most of it. We watched this episode one Sat. and decided to givie it a try. I managed to get through cutting the chicken and flashbacks as a kid watching my Grandmother do it. Somehow something went wrong and I'm still not sure what happened, but the flour didn't stick to the chicken as it was frying and I had a big mess by the end of it. I may try again at some point , but for me, I'll stick to Paula Deen and Rachel Ray. Go girls.
