Oprah’s Un-Fried Chicken

The secret to the success of this recipe is to make sure that both the chicken and yogurt are very cold (hence soak the chicken in ice water)

Ingredients:

•  Light vegetable oil cooking spray

• 6 chicken drumsticks skin removed

• 3 skinless chicken breasts

• 3 ½ cups ice water

• 1 cup low fat yogurt

For the breadcrumbs mix

• 1 cup breadcrumbs

• 1 cup plain flour

• ½ teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon Cajun seasoning

• ½ teaspoon dried thyme

• ½ teaspoon dried basil

• ½ teaspoon dried oregano

• A pinch of black pepper

• (Optional) pinch of cayenne pepper

Method

Preheat oven to 200c

Line a baking tray with baking paper and coat with 3 sprays of oil

Place the chicken in a large bowl with ice water and place the yogurt in a medium bowl and set both aside

Toss all the ingredients for breadcrumb mix into a large tightly sealing plastic bag and shake well to mix

Now take 2 pieces of the chicken from the ice water pat dry and then roll in the yogurt

Now place into the breadcrumb mix and coat well

Place the crumbed chicken onto the oiled baking tray. Now repeat the process to the remaining chicken

Once you have done all chicken pieces spray the top with a light coating of oil

Place the baking tray on the bottom shelf of the oven and bake for 1 hour

Turn chicken pieces every 20 minuets
