Baked Cornmeal Chicken

Crispy, flavorful, delish chicken thighs without a layer of grease… does it get better?

Ingredients:

• 1.5 Pounds Chicken Thighs (skin removed)
• 1/2 cup Bread Crumbs

• 4 t Dried Parsley
• 3/4 t Garlic Powder
• 1/2 t Salt

• 2T Butter Melted

Directions:

• Preheat your oven to 375 and lightly grease a 13×9 baking pan.
• In a large bowl combine all of your dry ingredients.
• In a separate smaller bowl, I like to use a pie pan with edges add your buttermilk.
• Dip your chicken thighs one at a time into the buttermilk making sure that buttermilk is coated everywhere.
• Place your chicken in your dry mixture and coat every inch of your chicken and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken is coated.
• Pop the chicken into the oven and bake. After 10 minutes has passed pull your chicken out and drizzle the melted butter over the top.
• Return your chicken to the oven and bake for an additional 30-40 minutes until the juices run clear. Serve hot and ENJOY!
