Oven fried chicken is not your typical modified version of Southern fried chicken. Instead, it uses a vinegar-based marinade for a tongue-tingling flavor to create the best oven fried chicken you'll ever taste.

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese , freshly and finely grated
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- Parsley , for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, 1/2 cup red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon coarse kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon dried oregano and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
- Add the 8 pieces chicken drumsticks, tossing to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for 6-24 hours.
- Remove from the refrigerator and pat dry.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with cooling racks for dripping or a broiler pan. I like to use parchment paper for easier clean up. You can do this lying flat, but the chicken will crispy more uniformly on a rack.
- In a shallow dish, combine the 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs, freshly grated 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper. Dredge each piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing into the chicken. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes or until chicken internal temperture reaches 165°F. Since the chicken pieces are different sizes and shapes, check them all.
- Remove, allow the chicken to rest and garnish with minced parsley and serve hot.
