Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks or thighs
- 2 cups Buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons Hot sauce
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 can (for greasing) Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken pieces in a large bowl. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken and stir in the hot sauce. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for more flavor.
Step 2
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack over the top. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, panko breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken pieces from the buttermilk, shaking off any excess liquid. Dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared wire rack. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help create a crispy crust.
Step 6
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy oven-fried chicken with your favorite side dishes!
