🥘 Ingredients

11 items

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Buttermilk
• 2 teaspoons Hot sauce (optional)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

📝 Instructions

9 steps

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil and lightly coat it with cooking oil spray.

2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce (if using). Submerge the chicken breasts in the mixture and allow them to marinate for at least 10 minutes.

3. Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

4. In another shallow dish, combine the crushed cornflakes and grated Parmesan cheese, mixing thoroughly.

5. Remove one chicken breast from the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge it in the flour mixture, coating evenly. Then return it briefly to the buttermilk before pressing it firmly into the cornflake-Parmesan mixture to coat thoroughly. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts.

6. Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.

7. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking oil to help the breading crisp up during baking.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.

9. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dish.
