Recipe of the week: Buttermilk Baked Chicken



Buttermilk Baked Chicken

Ingredients:

1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon hot-pepper sauce
Salt and pepper
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon thyme
4 pounds chicken, rinsed and patted dry

1) Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Generously rub a baking sheet with oil. 

2)  In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, hot-pepper sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, thyme and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. 

3)  Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, turning to coat evenly.  Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from liquid; dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, coat both sides evenly.  Place coated chicken pieces on prepared baking sheet. 

4)  Bake until chicken is golden brown, approximately 35 minutes.
