Ingredients

  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • salt
  • 1 12 teaspoons garlic powder
  • pepper
  • 1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
  • 8 (10 ounce) bone-in skin-on chicken breast halves (10 to 12 oz each)
  • 1 slice high-quality sandwich bread, torn into quarters
  • 2 12 cups crushed corn flakes
  • 12 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 12 teaspoon paprika
  • 18 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Method

  • Whisk the buttermilk, mustard, 2 t salt, 1 t of the garlic powder, 1 t black pepper and the hot sauce together in a bowl.
  • Remove skin from chicken, add the chicken, turn to coat well, cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour.
  • Adjust an oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, place a wire rack on top, and coat the rack with vegetable oil spray.
  • Pulse the bread in a food processor to coarse crumbs, about 8 pulses.
  • Gently toss the cornflakes, breadcrumbs, remaining 1/2 t garlic powder, 1/2 t black pepper, 1/4 t salt, poultry seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a shallow dish until well combined.
  • Drizzle the oil over the crumbs and toss until well coated.
  • Working with one piece at a time, remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge in the crumb mixture, firmly pressing the crumbs onto all sides of the chicken.
  • Place the chicken on the prepared wire rack, leaving 1/2 inch of space between each piece.
  • Bake until the chicken is deep golden brown and the thickest part registers 160 degrees on an instant-read-thermometer, 35-45 minutes.
