I found this tender, tasty chicken recipe in a recent issue of Cooking Light. It is tender inside with a nice crisp crust! Prep time includes 1 hour of marinating time. Ingredients:
3/4 cup low-fat buttermilk |
2 chicken breast halves, skinned (about 1 pound) |
2 chicken drumsticks, skinned (about 1/2 pound) |
2 chicken thighs, skinned (about 1/2 pound) |
1/2 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper |
1/4 teaspoon white pepper |
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Combine chicken pieces and buttermilk in a large zip-top bag and marinate in refrigerator 1 hour, turning occasionally. 2. Preheat oven to 450°F. 3. Combine flour and seasonings in another large plastic bag. 4. Remove chicken from first bag (discarding marinade) and shake in flour mixture one piece at a time. 5. Shake off excess flour. 6. Place chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. 7. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray. 8. Bake for 35 minutes or until done, turning after 20 minutes. |
