Barbecue Spice Oven Fried Chicken. Rainy day BBQ chicken! Crispy oven fried chicken that uses a wonderfully flavourful barbecue spice dry rub to flavour the chicken coating.
Updated July 1o, 2023 .
With the weather warming up this early April and winter relinquishing its grip this month, I am beginning to yearn for the upcoming barbecue and grilling season. Last summer I came up with Smokin’ Summer Spice Dry Rub which I have used in many ways since.
I’ve tried it on on pulled pork, beef brisket…even as a seasoning for grilled burgers. I really do think it has a great combination of flavours in the herbs and spices that are used in it.
When I was making dinner last week, I set out to use my original recipe for The Best Oven Fried Chicken which our whole family loves.
When I pulled out the spice drawer to get the spices needed, something immediately caught my eye. I noticed that there were a few tablespoons of that Smokin’ Summer Spice Dry Rub left from the last batch that I made.
Why not give it a shot as the seasoning for the fried chicken I thought. It turned out great!
We served it with some delicious Honey Dijon Pasta Salad for a quick meal.
However, I recommend if you have the time that you try my easy Unfried Crispy Wedge Fries. They go great with fried chicken as a lower fat alternative too.

Barbecue Spice Oven Fried Chicken
Barbecue Spice Oven Fried Chicken - Crispy oven fried chicken that uses a wonderfully flavourful barbecue spice rub to flavour the chicken coating.
Ingredients
- 1 whole chicken cut into parts or use 3 lbs chicken parts
- 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
- 2 tbsp hot sauce (optional
- 1 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 3 tbsp Smokin' Summer Spice Dry Rub
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 3 tbsp canola oil, light olive oil or peanut oil are also good
Instructions
- Cut one whole chicken into parts or use 3 lbs chicken parts of your choice.
- Add the chicken parts to a large Ziploc bag and then mix together and pour in the buttermilk, hot sauce, salt and pepper.
- Push as much air as you can out of the bag, close it and place in a bowl in the fridge for 6 - 8 hours or overnight.
- Make a dredge for the chicken by mixing together the flour and Smokin' Summer Spice Dry Rub.
- Drain the chicken pieces from the buttermilk and then dredge thoroughly in the flour and spice mixture to coat the pieces evenly.
- Coat the bottom of a cookie sheet or large baking pan with the canola oil.
- Place the coated chicken pieces in the pan and lightly spray the tops with olive oil from a spray bottle. Bake at 375 degrees for 50-60 minutes depending on the size of the chicken pieces. Drumsticks and wings will take only about 45 minutes. I use a meat thermometer to make sure the internal temperature of the largest pieces reaches 165 - 170 degrees F.
- Turn the pieces about half way through the cooking time.
