KONA K'S HEALTHY OVEN-BAKED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN TENDERLOINS



Kona K's Healthy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken Tenderloins image

A great recipe to try when you're in the mood for fried chicken, but can't afford all the calories and fat. If you're out of buttermilk, you can just substitute 1/4 C milk + 1 TSP vinegar. I like to spice this up by adding lots of hot sauce. If time allows, I would recommend soaking the chicken tenderloins in the buttermilk, garlic powder and hot sauce mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will make the chicken much more flavorful. (Picture: served with Kona K's Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe #368944)

Kona K's Too Easy Smoky & Spicy Chicken Thighs image

These chicken thighs are so yummy and easy to make! Perfect for busy weeknights. Just get the spices together the night before, allow the thighs to marinate over-night, and voila -- no need to worry about tomorrow's dinner. I love the spicy and smoky flavors, and the thighs remain juicy on the inside with a nice crispy crunch outside! I haven't tried this with other meats, but I have a feeling this will go great with pork as well!

Yield 4 thighs, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon paprika

4 chicken thighs

  • Combine cayenne pepper, paprika, garlic powder, chili powder, salt and pepper in small bowl.
  • Place chicken thighs on plate. Sprinkle liberally with the spice mixture. Make sure chicken thighs are all well-coated.
  • Place chicken into a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 8-10 hours (I like to let it marinade overnight).
  • When you're ready to cook, preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Place chicken thighs in single layer on a baking tray.
  • Spoon a drizzle of soy sauce (about 1 TSP) over each thigh.
  • Bake for about 30-45 minutes, or until chicken is completely cooked.

Tips:

  • If you don't have chicken breasts, you can substitute chicken thighs or drumsticks.
  • Be sure to marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes, but no longer than 24 hours.
  • If you don't have time to marinate the chicken, you can simply season it with salt and pepper before cooking.
  • Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it cooks evenly through.
  • To prevent the chicken from drying out, baste it with the marinade or a mixture of soy sauce, honey, and water.
  • Serve the chicken with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides.

Conclusion:

Kona chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. The marinade gives the chicken a flavorful and slightly sweet taste, and the cooking method ensures that it is cooked evenly through. Serve the chicken with rice, vegetables, or your favorite sides for a complete meal.
