Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Low-fat buttermilk
- 2 teaspoons Hot sauce
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk and hot sauce. Submerge the chicken breasts in the buttermilk mixture, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to overnight to marinate.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken breasts from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to coat evenly on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray to help with crisping.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your healthier fried chicken!
