I love fried chicken and I cooked a a lot when I was in Japan.
However after I moved to New York City, I am afraid to cook because we do not have good kitchen exhaust that I used have.
As working mom, you would like to save time cleaning kitchen after cooking deep flying stuff, and you cannot stay all the time in kitchen especially if you have small kid(s).
So I baked it instead…but it turns out as if I deep flying . It is not only easy but also save the calorie.

The Secret To Crispy Chicken
Nobody likes a dry and overcooked chicken breast, that’s why it’s important to follow these simple steps if you want your chicken to be crispy and delicious. Not only will you get a delicious and crispy meal, but you’ll also create a Gunpowder coating that will help to lock in the juices and make your chicken extra juicy.
To create a Gunpowder coating, first mix together one cup of cornstarch with two tablespoons of water. Then, coat the chicken in the mixture using your hands or a pastry brush. Make sure to coat each piece of chicken thoroughly.
Once the chicken is coated, it’s time to sear it in a hot pan. You want to cook the chicken over high heat for about two minutes per side until it is golden brown and cooked through. Be sure not to overcook the chicken or it will become dry and tough.
Next, bake the chickens in a preheated oven for about 25 minutes until they are crispy and cooked through. Don’t forget to remove them from the oven before they become too heavy or dense – they should be served hot when done!
