Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 35 Minutes
Ready In: 45 Minutes
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
vegetable oil, for baking sheet
8 slices white bread
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
salt and pepper
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (2 1/2 ounces)
1 teaspoon dried thyme
4 lbs chicken parts, rinsed and patted dry (preferably legs, thighs, and wings)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°. Generously rub a baking sheet with oil. In a food processor, pulse bread until it turns into coarse crumbs.
2. In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, hot-pepper sauce, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, thyme, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
3. Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, turning to coat evenly. Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from liquid, letting excess drip back into bowl; dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat evenly. Place coated chicken pieces on prepared baking sheet.
4. Bake until chicken is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
5. Note: Leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they crisp evenly all the way around.
