5 Videos | Photo: Buttermilk Baked Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups buttermilk
- Juice of 1/2 lemon
- 1 tablespoon hot sauce
- 1/2 yellow onion, sliced
- 5 sprigs fresh thyme
- 3 cloves garlic, smashed
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 (3 pound) chicken cut into 8 pieces, rinsed and patted dry
- 2 cups crushed corn flakes
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Fit a sheet tray with a wire rack and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Mix together buttermilk, lemon juice, hot sauce, onion, thyme, garlic, salt, and pepper to a large bowl. Add chicken and coat with mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up 12 hours.
Mix corn flakes, Parmesan cheese, and thyme together. Season with salt and pepper.
Remove chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off, and dredge through the corn flake-Parmesan mixture, pressing to help it adhere.
Place on the wire rack-fitted sheet tray and bake for 45 minutes until golden and crisp.
Cook's Note: Remove the skin to save calories. Soaking chicken in buttermilk leaves the chicken incredibly moist with a delicious flavor.

Seriously, this was fantastic. I don't usually write reviews, but this was so delicious I had to comment. My husband said it was the best chicken I ever made. Easy too.

Basic buttermilk fried chicken which most people will prefer if they ever taste it. I fry mine along with sliced onions and a rough mashed garlic bulb. Adds unique flavor. Just my own take on this King of Comfort Food. Experiment with your own tastes.
