Well, of course you can - you can do anything you want! Just so you know, KFC finishes their Original Recipe fried chicken in a pressure cooker (or at least they did when I was a kid). I like to take the extra step and finish it in the oven. Chicken needs a lot of room to fry, and you should never crowd pieces in your skillet. Finishing chicken in the oven allows you to give the it the room it needs and still get a lot of chicken done all at the same time. Moreover, cooking this way, the chicken gets done to the bone. This means you won't have any pink chicken surprises when you sit down to eat.
