this is a great technique! i have tried it a couple of times now. you get a nice crispy chicken that doesn't have too much coating on it. i play around with the seasonings in the coating; the main thing here is the technique which yields a reliable result. since fried chicken is one of my weaknesses, this will definitely be in regular rotation for us.

So yummy! It's hard to go wrong with any kind of fried chicken so I knew this would be good. I used boneless skinless chicken breasts just because that's what we prefer. The chicken itself was prety moist and juicy. This is definitely a make again recipe. Thanks for posting!! Made for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders Tag.

This was a really nice recipe. I have made chicken similar to this, but never would have thought to use the curry powder or corn meal. This combo complements the taste of chicken just right, so it tastes like chicken. Thanks for posting.

Chicken is supplied strangely here. You either get a whole chicken & cut it up yourself or buy a bag ea of breasts, legs, thighs & wings to get the equivalent of a whole chicken - w/a lot of surplus. I was too lazy to do the former & too low on freezer space to do the latter, so I used breasts only (always boneless, skinless & very lrg). I used my meat mallet to pound them to a desirable thickness & otherwise made the recipe as written. W/a combined cook time of 45 min, I worried it might be dry but it was moist & flavorful. I found the oven cook time also cooked a fair amt of oil away from the chicken & was happy about that, so I checked the nutrition data & knew something had to be wrong. I did some research on the net & found that the average fryer chicken weighs 4 lbs & dresses out to 3.25 lbs if the back & rib pieces are used or 3 lbs if only the other pieces are used. Using the more realistic wt of 3 lbs is certain to improve the nutrition data. Sorry this review was so long, but thx for sharing this tasty & easy-fix recipe w/us. :-)
