Southerners may grunt and grumble about the travesty of “fried” chicken not being cooked in big skillets of melted lard,
Ingredients
2 cups buttermilk
1/4 cup red hot pepper sauce
1 pound chicken drumsticks and thighs
2 cups panko bread crumbs
1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
How to make it
Step 1: Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a large bowl or a sealable plastic bag. Add the chicken and turn to coat. Cover the bowl or seal the bag and marinate in the refrigerator for at least one hour and up to 12.
Step 2: Preheat the oven to 450°F. In a bowl, combine the bread crumbs with the spices. Working one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the buttermilk marinade and dip into the bread crumbs to thoroughly coat. When breading food, it’s best to use one hand for the dry element and one for the wet.
Step 3: Place the breaded chicken on a nonstick baking sheet. Bake for about 20 minutes until browned and crisp on the outside and cooked all the way through.
