Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 240 ml Low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 120 grams All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 60 grams Cornflakes (crushed)
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Cut the chicken breasts into 2-inch pieces or strips.
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Add the chicken pieces to the buttermilk mixture, ensuring they are fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight for best results.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour and baking powder.
In another shallow dish, place the crushed cornflakes.
Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Dip each chicken piece into the flour mixture, coating thoroughly.
Next, press each piece into the crushed cornflakes, ensuring an even coating.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Lightly spray the chicken pieces with cooking spray to help achieve a crispier texture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy your low-fat homemade KFC style fried chicken with your favorite dipping sauces or sides.
