Oven-Fried Buttermilk Chicken

"I use boneless chicken breasts for this but I'm writing it down the same way that I received it. I also turn on the broiler for the last few minutes to get it extra crispy,flipping once. Marinating time is not included. Very good with garlic mashed potatoes and corn on the cob."

  1. Very nice recipe & easy to make. I made my cornflake crumbs by hand but I think I'll crush them in a mini-processor next time, the coating turns out quite crunchie so I think I'd prefer a finer crumb. I'd recommend to spray/oil your baking sheet rack, the crumbs tend to stick & come off the chicken. I used salted butter so I didn't add any salt to my crumbs. The pepper didn't mix well with the crumbs (sank to the bottom) so next time I'll just season the breast either before or after breading goes on. Chicken turned out very tasty & tender, thanks for sharing.
