Crispy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken
Perfectly golden chicken with a light, crispy coating achieved through a healthier oven-baking method. Marinated in tangy buttermilk for exceptional tenderness, each piece is encrusted with seasoned whole-grain breadcrumbs and baked until irresistibly crunchy on the outside while staying juicy within.
INGREDIENTS
4 ounce skinless, boneless chicken breast
1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/3 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Olive oil cooking spray
PREPARATION
In a large bowl, combine buttermilk with 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, paprika, and salt. Add chicken breast and ensure it's well-coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place a wire rack on top. Spray the rack with olive oil spray.
In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, remaining garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Remove chicken from buttermilk marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard remaining marinade.
Dredge the chicken in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coating.
Place the breaded chicken on the prepared wire rack. Spray the top lightly with olive oil spray.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
