Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can (for greasing) Cooking spray
Instructions
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir in the hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over the top. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk, shaking off any excess liquid. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help create a crispy crust.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy oven-fried chicken with your favorite side dishes!
