Chris (lil sis) LOVES chicken! I think that one day, she might grow some feathers and start laying eggs. She and I are always on the hunt for new chicken dishes for us to try that require not a lot of work but is still delicious. She likes spicy stuff, so I know she's gonna like this. I know I did! Marinating time is included in the passive time

OMG - I totally botched the method on this recipe! I just didn't read it thoroughly the day before. So, my 5 star rating is for the flavour. The flavour is outstanding! The chicken was really nice & moist, too, even though I didn't marinate for 2 hours in the fridge. I mixed all the spices together with the breadcrumbs & cornmeal straight off the bat - so, I dunked the chicken in it anyway, then soaked in the buttermilk for a few minutes & then coated in more spice/crumb mixture. I think I baked for about 40 minutes - by that point, I was so confused, it wasn't even funny!! -

I made this as part of our dinner on 4/10/08.After rubbing the seasoning blend into the chicken,I left it to soak in the buttermilk for about 3 hours. I did however have a problem with the coating coming off the chicken. And to us it didn't have that much of a heat factor to it.But I will have to say it was very moist. We miss you Amy,and when we think of you we'll "Keep Smiling :)"

We thought this chicken was as good as it gets!! I followed the recipe exactly, and not only was it easy, it was absolutely delicious! It was very piquant but not spicy hot. If someone wanted more spice, perhaps some red pepper could be added. This is a keeper. Thank you very much Redneck Epicurean!
