Ingredients
- 2 (10.2-ounce) packages Fresh Express® French Bistro Chopped Salad Kits®
- 2 pounds chicken parts bone-in, skin-on (thighs, drumsticks, breasts)
- 1 cup flour
- 3 teaspoons salt
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce (such as Tabasco)
- 1/3 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Baking powder biscuits optional
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425° F.
- Mix flour and salt in a large bowl. Whisk milk, egg, and hot sauce in another bowl.
- Put butter into a 13x9x2-inch baking dish; place it in the oven for 5 minutes or until the butter melts. Remove from the oven.
- Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour and shake off excess; dip into milk mixture, letting excess drip off. Dredge again in the flour. Arrange chicken, skin side down, in a single layer, in the baking dish.
- Bake for 30 minutes; turn chicken so that the skin side is up. Bake 15 minutes longer or until a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165° F.
- Combine the oil, cayenne pepper, brown sugar, chili powder, garlic powder, and paprika in a small saucepan; cook over medium heat until warm. Brush fried chicken with spicy oil.
- In a bowl, add salad with dressing and toppings; toss to combine.
- Serve chicken with Fresh Express® French Bistro Chopped Salad Kit® and French bread, if desired.
