Ingredients:
- 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or a mix)
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
Instructions:
1. Marinate in Buttermilk: Begin by marinating your chicken pieces in a bowl of buttermilk for at least 30 minutes. This step ensures the chicken stays juicy and flavorful during the baking process.
2. Prepare Breadcrumb Mixture: In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create a seasoned coating.
3. Coat the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove each chicken piece from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Coat each piece thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a wire rack. This ensures even baking and allows air circulation for optimal crispiness.
5. Achieve Golden Perfection: Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 35-45 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
6. Let Rest and Serve: Once baked, let the Baked Fried Chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping the chicken tender.
7. Enjoy Without Guilt: Indulge in the satisfying crunch and flavorful goodness of this baked version of fried chicken. Serve it alongside your favorite sides for a comfort food feast that’s lightened up but not lacking in taste.
