Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as
  • 2 1/2-3 pounds chicken legs, skin removed, trimmed and cut into thighs and drumsticks
  • 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • Freshly ground pepper to taste
  • Olive oil cooking spray

Directions

Whisk buttermilk, mustard, garlic and hot sauce in a shallow glass dish until well blended. Add chicken and turn to coat. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1/2 hour or for up to 8 hours.

Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil. Set a wire rack on the baking sheet and coat it with cooking spray.

Whisk flour, sesame seeds, paprika, thyme, baking powder, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Place the flour mixture in a paper bag or large sealable plastic bag. Shaking off excess marinade, place one or two pieces of chicken at a time in the bag and shake to coat. Shake off excess flour and place chicken on the prepared rack. (Discard any leftover flour mixture and marinade.) Spray chicken pieces with cooking spray.

Bake the chicken until golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 40 to 50 minutes.

    disappointing taste and looks

    Rated: 2 stars out of 5
    I think I will stick to fried chicken. Had little to no taste. It didn't look anything like the picture. Chicken didn't ... brown until i put it under the broiler. AgathaRead more

    Very easy to make

    I have two boys 4 and 2, they loved it and i didn't have to worry about smelling up the house with fried food or making a... mess which always comes with frying.Read more

    Great healthier version of this classic

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I marinaded the chicken overnight and found that really added flavor and moisture to the chicken. I loved the use of whole... wheat flour as it held up and didn't get "gummy" as white flour would. I sprayed the chicken with cooking spray, as well as, the rack just like the recipe said and that helped the chicken brown up and get crispy without sticking to the pan. Loved it. Read more

    Great Recipe

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I don't understand how someone can say the recipe is no good. The reviewer with one star should go back to cullinary... school. I found the chicken moist and tender. The Buttermilk really adds to the moistness and adds a bit of zing if the chicken is allowed to marinate in it. I did not use the wheat flour. Instead I used a walnut-oatmeal flour I create in a blender. I used Mrs. Dash and more black pepper. This one is a keeper and one to send off to others!Read more

    Best Healthy Chicken

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I love E.K. recipes because I am able to eat the foods I love and feel healthy at the same time. This recipe was amazing. I... recommend marinading the meat for longer than an hour and by reading the other reviews before I made it I sprayed the foil with a ton of olive oil so the chicken would not stick. I will be making this recipe again and again!!Read more

    Healthy and tasty

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I only tried it with dark meat and it turned out great. I suggest leaving the bone in if you're going to try it with chicken... breast.Read more
