Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup non-fat buttermilk, OR 1/2 tablespoon lemon juice(or vinegar) mixed with (1/2 cup) 1 percent milk
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons hot sauce

  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher or sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
  2. In a wide and shallow bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, mustard, garlic, and hot sauce. Add chicken and flip to coat on both sides.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Whisk the flour, paprika, thyme, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  5. Place the seasoned flour in a bowl with an airtight lid. Add the chicken 2 pieces at a time and shake with the lid on. Remove the chicken, shake off any excess flour, and place it on the rack.
  6. Coat the top and sides of the chicken with cooking spray or brush with olive oil. Bake the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 40 to 50 minutes.
