Easy Oven Fried Chicken

Cooking oven-fried chicken is one of those things that is so easy it's hardly worth talking about. But sometimes it comes out better than others, so I thought I'd share this one.

Basically I mixed up some sweet rice flour, corn meal, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and turmeric. The exact mix isn't important. I also used a little konjac (1/2 tsp) to help it stick, though I don't think it needed it, as it turned out.

Then I coated the chicken thighs in mayonnaise. Mayo sticks rather nicely; that is what it is made for! Then I rolled it in the flour, and baked at 350 til nicely browned and done inside. This made a nice crispy, but not greasy, crust.

In many of these kinds of recipes, buttermilk is used to help the crust stick. I don't use milk at all, so using the mayo made it easy. Possibly coconut yogurt would work too.

I cooked this on a silicone mat, which made cleanup easy also.
