Cooking in a small amount of heart-healthy peanut oil adds flavor and makes the chicken crispy. Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour |
1 teaspoon ground ginger |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt |
2 bone-in chicken breast halves (about 1 1/4 pounds), skinned |
2 chicken thighs (about 10 ounces), skinned |
2 chicken drumsticks (about 10 ounces), skinned |
1/4 cup peanut oil |
Directions:
1. Place first 5 ingredients in a large heavy-duty zip-top plastic bag. Seal bag, and shake to blend. Sprinkle salt evenly over chicken. Add chicken, 1 piece at a time, to bag. Seal bag, and shake to coat chicken. Remove chicken from bag, shaking off excess flour. Place chicken on a cooling rack; place rack in a jelly-roll pan. Reserve and refrigerate remaining flour mixture in bag. Loosely cover chicken with wax paper; chill 1 1/2 hours. Let chicken stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Return chicken, 1 piece at a time, to flour mixture, shaking bag to coat chicken. Discard excess flour mixture.
2. Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken to pan. Reduce heat to medium, and cook 25 minutes or until done, carefully turning every 5 minutes.
3. Line a clean cooling rack with several layers of paper towels. Drain chicken on paper towels; let stand 5 minutes.
