Kraft Oven Fry Copycat Recipe

Kraft Oven Fry Copycat Recipe

Hi, I’m Ava Moore and I’m excited to share with you my favorite recipe for oven-fried chicken. I’m an expert in recipes and I’ve tried many different ways to cook chicken, but this recipe is my absolute favorite. It’s crispy, flavorful, and easy to make. Plus, it’s a copycat version of Kraft Oven Fry, so you can enjoy the same delicious taste without having to go to the store.

What is Kraft Oven Fry?

Kraft Oven Fry is a seasoned coating mix that you can use to make crispy, oven-fried chicken. It’s made with real herbs and spices and it’s a great alternative to traditional frying. However, not everyone has access to this product or wants to use it due to its ingredients. That’s why I’ve created my own copycat recipe that tastes just as good.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon pepper
  • 4-6 chicken pieces (I prefer using drumsticks and thighs)
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. Combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, basil, salt, and pepper in a large plastic bag.
  3. Dip each chicken piece in the buttermilk, then place it in the bag with the flour mixture. Shake until the chicken is coated evenly.
  4. Place the chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
  6. Enjoy!
