Crispy Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a southern classic with tender chicken marinated in tangy buttermilk, lightly coated in whole wheat flour and seasoned spices, baked to a delightfully crispy finish. This dish delivers comfort and flavor without sacrificing your nutritional goals.
INGREDIENTS
6 oz Chicken Breast (~170g)
1/2 cup Buttermilk (~120g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour (~30g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (~5g)
Pinch of Salt, Pepper, Paprika, and Garlic Powder
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine the buttermilk with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Place the chicken breast in the marinade, ensuring it is fully covered. Marinate for at least 30 minutes (or up to 2 hours in the refrigerator).
In a separate shallow dish, add the whole wheat flour and a pinch more of your selected spices.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade, letting excess drip off, then dredge thoroughly in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly drizzle or brush with olive oil to help promote crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Turn the chicken halfway through for even baking.
Allow to rest for a few minutes before serving to let the juices redistribute.
