Oven-Fried Chicken...In the Crockpot

Today's recipe is an alternative to conventional fried chicken, which I prepared in the crockpot.  You could make yours in the oven if you preferred.



Ingredients:

~chicken legs & thighs, skin removed
~1 cup organic flour
~4 tablespoons flax seeds
~3 teaspoons paprika
~2 tablespoons seasoned salt
~2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
~2 teaspoons minced onion
~1 teaspoon pepper
~1/2 stick organic butter, melted

Directions:

Spray the inside of the crockpot with cooking spray.  Combine flour, flax seeds, and all spices in a large zippered bag.  Drop a couple of pieces of chicken at a time into the bag, reseal and shake to coat pieces.  Layer the coated pieces in the crockpot, then drizzle melted butter over all.  Cook on high 3-4 hours.  (Alternatively, you could bake this dish at 425 degrees for 40 to 50 minutes.)




Enjoy!

  1. Just curious as to what the "texture" was like on the chicken. Was it crispy like when it is oven baked? Sounds interesting.

    1. It was tender, not really crispy on the outside like it would be in the oven.
