Nashville: Try the fried chicken, y'all. Southern hospitality wouldn't be quite so hospitable without corn bread, collard greens, and, of course, fried chicken. If you haven't already guessed that grease is what's so finger-lickin' good, we'll let you in on a secret: You can spend nearly half a day's calories on one thigh of this Southern-fried favorite. So make our baked version instead.
Ingredients:
3 cups italian-style breadcrumbs
2 tbsp paprika
2 tbsp garlic salt
1 tbsp ground red pepper
2 cups 1.5 percent buttermilk
12 chicken pieces (6 breast halves, 6 thighs), skinless
butter-flavored cooking spray
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic salt, and red pepper. Pour buttermilk into a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken in buttermilk, then dredge in breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken, meaty side up, in a large baking pan. Generously coat chicken pieces with cooking spray. Bake for 40 minutes or until done. Check internal cooking temperature of chicken with a meat thermometer until breasts reach 170°F and thighs reach 180°F.
