Oven-Fried Chicken, Family Style

2 small chickens, cut into quarters
1 quart buttermilk
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tbs salt, kosher
1 tbs black pepper

Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and pour the buttermilk over them. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350°.
Combine the flour, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Take the chicken out of the buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly with the flour mixture.
Pour vegetable oil into a large heavy-bottomed stockpot to a depth of 1 inch and heat to 360° on a thermometer.
Working in batches, carefully place several pieces of chicken in the oil and fry for about 3 min on each side until the coating is a light golden brown (it will continue to brown in the oven) being sure not to crowd the pieces.
Remove the chicken from the oil and place each piece on a metal baking rack set on a sheet pan. Allow the oil to return to 360° before frying the next batch.
When all the chicken is fried, bake for 30 to 40 min at 350° or until the chicken is no longer pink inside. Serve hot. Serves 6

The oven-fried chicken has a very good taste to it. It has a very crispy outer layer that covers the nice, juicy chicken. The taste of the oven fried chicken is salty and tangy.
