I love this healthy buttermilk baked chicken recipe. When living and visiting down south I loved traditional buttermilk marinated fried chicken but oh the fat and calories! Here is my skinny version of this southern classic! Itis perfect served cold for those summer picnics!
Make sure you start this recipe in advance a day ahead since the chicken needs to marinate overnight! ♥
Ingredients ♥
2 cups light buttermilk
4 medium garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
3 tablespoons hot sauce, such as Tabasco
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper, plus more as needed
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 bone-in chicken thighs, skin removed
4 bone-in chicken drumsticks, skin removed
1 1/4 cups Corn Flake Crumbs or 5 cups finely ground cornflake cereal
4 tablespoons unsalted margarine (1/2 stick), melted
Directions ♥
Combine the buttermilk, garlic, hot sauce, measured salt and pepper, paprika, and cayenne in a large bowl and stir until evenly combined. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and transfer it to a 13-by-9-inch baking dish. Pour the buttermilk mixture over the chicken, cover, and refrigerate 12 hours, turning once.
The next day....
Heat the oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle. Fit a wire rack inside a baking sheet and set it aside.
Place the Corn Flake Crumbs in a shallow dish and season generously with salt and pepper. Remove a piece of chicken from the buttermilk marinade, letting the excess drip off, and place it in the Corn Flake Crumbs, turning to coat completely and pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to adhere. Set the chicken aside on a cutting board and repeat with the remaining pieces. Drizzle the melted margarine evenly over the chicken pieces and transfer them to the rack on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake until golden and crispy and a thermometer inserted into the chicken (but not touching the bone) registers 165°F, about 35 minutes. enjoy! ♥
