Ingredients
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably Panko)
- 2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 6 pieces Chicken pieces (bone-in, skin-on or skinless)
- 1 cup Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Cooking spray or vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil or parchment paper and place a wire rack on top.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper (if using), and Parmesan cheese.
Step 3
Pour the buttermilk into a shallow dish and set it next to the bowl of coating mix.
Step 4
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels. Dip each piece into the buttermilk, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge it in the coating mix. Press lightly to ensure an even and thorough coating.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken pieces onto the prepared wire rack, leaving space between each piece. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray or drizzle a bit of vegetable oil over the chicken for extra crispiness.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). For extra crispness, you can broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes at the end of the cooking time, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Step 7
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve hot and enjoy your moist, oven-baked crispy chicken!
