Oven fried chicken is not fried chicken no matter how much you wish it so. Soaking the chicken over night is fine but double dredging is still the best way to get a crispy crust ( flour-liquid-flour). Oh, and of course, FRYING. Did you even try the recipe?...

Nice, but there is a better way. Soak the chicken overnight in buttermilk, pat it dry before rolling in the seasoned flour (mix in some corn meal too) & the result is a more tender, moist & flavorful chicken when fried (peanut oil is best) or oven-fried.
