Crispy Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Enjoy a healthier twist on a classic comfort dish with tender chicken breast bathed in tangy buttermilk, lightly seasoned, and coated in whole wheat flour for a crispy finish. Baked to perfection, this meal offers satisfying crunch and robust flavor without the extra oil of traditional fried chicken.
INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast
1/2 cup Buttermilk
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Paprika
1 tsp Garlic Powder
1 tsp Onion Powder
Salt & Black Pepper to taste
Olive Oil (optional spray)
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix the buttermilk with paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken breast to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Let it marinate for at least 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
In another shallow dish, add the whole wheat flour. Remove the chicken from the marinade allowing excess liquid to drip off, then lightly dredge in the flour until fully coated.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. If desired, lightly spray or brush the chicken with olive oil to help achieve extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy. Flip halfway through for even browning.
Once done, remove from the oven and let rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
