Baked Fried Chicken

  • Remove chicken from buttermilk, letting excess drip off.
  • Dredge each piece in the flour mixture until evenly coated.
  • Shake off excess and place in the buttered pan.

Step 5: Bake to Perfection

  • Arrange chicken in a single layer.
  • Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each piece with tongs.
  • Bake for another 20 minutes, or until internal temp reaches 170°F (77°C).
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

💡 Pro Tips

  • Extra Crunch: Lightly spray coated chicken with cooking spray before baking.
  • Even Cooking: Space pieces apart to allow hot air to circulate.
  • Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer for perfect results.
