Buttermilk Baked Chicken

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray.

Step 2

Mix together buttermilk, lemon juice, hot sauce, onion, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Add chicken and coat with mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up 12 hours.

Step 3

Mix corn flakes, Parmesan cheese, and thyme together. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Remove chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dredge through the corn flake-Parmesan mixture, pressing to help it adhere.

Step 5

Place on the wire rack-fitted sheet tray and bake for 45 minutes until golden and crisp.
