Buttermilk Unfried Chicken

I love the taste of crispy chicken but prefer this version for a healthy everyday meal.

Buttermilk Unfried Chicken
  • 1 In a large resealable plastic bag, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours, or up to all day. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • 2 Place bread in a food processor and pulse to form coarse crumbs. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest and thyme. Working one piece at a time, remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off any excess; roll in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat evenly. Place chicken pieces on baking sheet.
  • 3 Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
