Baked Chicken

Has anyone ever tried a breaded baked chicken on a pizza stone over the plate setter. I'm going to try it tonight, but I would feel better if I got a thumbs up before giving a whirl.

Comments

  • I wouldn't put it directly on the stone, but would use a shallow pan..I try not to get my stone too greasy/funky as I use it for direct baking.
  • Thanks for the reply. The chicken will be heavily coated with a flour/ panko crust, so i don't think it will funkify the stone. My thought about putting it on the stone was that it would absorb moisture and make a crispy crust. Putting it in a pan would cause it to sit in it's own juices. My goal is to get a crunchy, crispy crust without frying. Any thoughts.

    I haven't done these myself, but several members have reported good results. The method might extend to what you are trying.

    it works good with thighs and wings, not so sure about breast meat because there isnt much fat

    chef rd's origional recipe

    Breaded hot wings that are crispy and easy. (Pictures)
    Ingredients:
    •1/2 Cup Milk
    • 1 egg
    •1/2 Cup flour
    •1/2 Cup corn meal
    •1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
    •1/2 tsp white pepper
    •1/2 tsp black pepper
    • 1 tsp garlic powder
    • 1 tsp onion powder
    • Chicken Wings


    Preparation Directions:
    • Prepare the milk/egg wash
    • Mix all the dry ingredients
    • Dredge the wings thru the wash, and then roll in the dry spices.
    • Let the wings rest in the refrigerator for 30~45 minutes for the coating to set.


    Cooking Directions:
    • Cook over direct heat for about 45 minutes at 250 degrees turning about every 10 minutes to prevent burning. After 25 minutes baste wings with Louisiana hot sauce/butter whenever you turn them over.

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it
  • I cook my chickens spatchcocked and indirect. Once the meat temps have hit their targets, I pull the platesetter and cook direct for 1 to 2 minutes per side. It crisps up the skin but you need to watch it carefully so it doesn't burn.
