How To Make oven-fried chicken legs
-
1Whisk together the buttermilk, pickle juice, and hot sauce. Place the chicken in a leakproof container. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the chicken and place in the fridge for 2 hours.
-
2Using a resealable plastic bag, combine the flour, ranch mix, corn starch, and seasonings.
-
3Place the oil and butter in a large cast iron skillet and place in the oven. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F allowing the oil and butter to heat up as the oven preheats. Once the oil is good and hot, remove the skillet. Take each chicken leg and shake it in the flour mixture. Using tongs to remove, shake off excess flour and place in the skillet. You will hear it sizzle a little. Repeat with the remaining chicken.
-
4Place back in the oven for 35-45 minutes, rotating the chicken about every 10 minutes to brown on all sides. Cooking time will depend on the size of the chicken legs you are using, just check with a meat thermometer to reach 160 degrees.
-
5Remove the chicken to a paper sack or towel-lined plate. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
