Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts)
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 1.5 cups Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 teaspoons Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 2 cups Crushed gluten-free corn flakes
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl and cover them with the buttermilk. Let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Mix well.
In another shallow dish, place the crushed gluten-free corn flakes.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece first in the flour mixture, then return it to the buttermilk briefly, and finally coat it with the crushed corn flakes. Press the corn flakes onto the chicken to ensure they adhere.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, skin side up.
Lightly spray the chicken with olive oil spray to help it crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (74°C).
Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving, to let the juices redistribute.
Serve hot with your favorite sides.
