Ingredients
-
-
1 1/2 cups buttermilk
-
1/2 cup olive oil
-
2 tablespoons louisanna hot sauce (can use more!)
-
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
-
1 tablespoon fresh minced garlic
-
1 teaspoon salt
-
black pepper
-
1 small onion, sliced
-
10 pieces chicken (skin and bones left on)
-
-
1 cup dry breadcrumbs

1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
-
black pepper
-
1/4 cup flour
-
2 teaspoons dried thyme (rubbed between fingers to release flavor)
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (can use more!)
Instructions
- In a large bowl mix together buttermilk, oil, hot pepper sauce, Dijon mustard, fresh garlic, 1 tsp salt and black pepper (I use about 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper) whisk to combine well, then add in the onion.
- Add in the chicken pieces and turn to coat thoroughly with the mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for 8-24 hours, turning the chicken pieces occasionally.
- Place a rack (I use a cookie rack, it fits perfectly!) on a 15 x 10-inch baking sheet.
- In a bowl mix together breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, thyme, paprika, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade (discard marinade) letting any excess to drip off (do not leave any onions slices on the chicken, discard with marinade).
- Add in the chicken pieces to the breadcrumb mixture, and turn to coat the chicken evenly on all sides.
- Arrange the chicken on the rack that is on the baking sheet (skin side up).
- Let stand for around 30 minutes.
- Set oven to 425° (let oven heat up for 10 minutes, oven must be HOT!).
- Drizzle the melted butter on top of the chicken pieces.
- Bake until crisp and golden brown about 45-50 minutes.
