Oven Fried Chicken Recipe

This Oven Fried Chicken Recipe has a lot of flavor despite it being baked. By dipping the chicken in buttermilk in allows the chicken to achieve some crispiness.

3 lbs of chicken (combination of thighs and drumsticks, skinned)

1 tsp salt

2 cups of Italian Style breadcrumbs

1 tsp of cayenne pepper

2 cups of buttermilk

1/2 tsp of black pepper

2 tablespoons of melted butter

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a large dish pour in breadcrumbs, cayenne pepper, black pepper and 1 tsp salt.(Make sure to blend)
In another bowl, pour in buttermilk.

Take chicken and dip into buttermilk and make sure to let any extra buttermilk to drip back into bowl. Roll into seasoned breadcrumbs.
Place chicken onto a roasting pan that has been sprayed with cooking spray. (This allows the chicken to crisp better.)

Take melted butter and drizzle over chicken. Place into oven that has been preheated and cook for about an hour.

*Note: This chicken is even more delicious if you allow it to sit in the buttermilk for a couple of hours.
