Categories     Chicken

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 chicken leg quarters, separated into drumsticks and thighs, skin removed (5 to 6 pounds)
3 cups buttermilk
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Extra vegetable oil (for the rack)
2 cups (8 ounces) panko crumbs
2 cups fine, dry bread crumbs
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon mustard powder
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
11/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine chicken, buttermilk, salt, and black pepper. Make sure the chicken is coated all over with the buttermilk. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or for up to a day. 2. Set the oven at 400 degrees. Set a large wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet. Brush it with oil. 3. In a gallon-size zipper bag, combine the panko, dry bread crumbs, paprika, mustard powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Shake well. Add the 1/4 cup oil and melted butter and mix together with your fingers. 4. Working with 1 piece of chicken at a time, use tongs to lift the chicken from the bowl, letting the excess buttermilk drip back into the bowl. Place the chicken piece in the bag of crumbs and turn to coat it on all sides, shaking off the excess. Transfer to the wire rack. Continue coating the remaining pieces of chicken. 5. Bake the chicken for 40 minutes, or until the coating is deep, golden brown, and the juices run clear when a knife is inserted into the thickest part of a thigh. Set aside 4 thighs for the sandwiches. Serve the remaining chicken with coleslaw.

This chicken was okay. I thought the coating was a little too thick and the chicken was a little dry. I probably won't be making this again.

I've made this recipe several times now and it always turns out great. The chicken is always crispy and juicy. I love that I can use any type of chicken I have on hand. This is a great recipe for a weeknight meal.

This chicken was so good! I made it for my family last night and everyone loved it. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The buttermilk marinade gave the chicken a lot of flavor. I will definitely be making this again.
