Crispy buttermilk chicken is a classic dish that marries tender, juicy chicken with a perfectly crispy exterior. The secret lies in marinating the chicken in buttermilk, which makes it incredibly moist and flavorful. Combined with a well-seasoned bread crumb coating, every bite promises a delightful crunch and burst of flavor.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, mix together the buttermilk, coriander leaves, and paprika until well combined.
- Add the chicken thighs to the bowl with the buttermilk mixture. Ensure each piece is fully coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight for the best flavor.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, dried oregano, lemon zest, and sesame seeds. Mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Remove the marinated chicken thighs from the refrigerator.
- Take each thigh and roll it in the bread crumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the coating sticks well.
- Arrange the breaded chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is crispy and golden brown. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve the crispy buttermilk chicken hot, garnished with extra coriander leaves if desired.
Tips:
- Marinate the chicken in buttermilk for at least 4 hours, or overnight, for the best results.
- Make sure to pat the chicken dry before coating it with breadcrumbs to ensure maximum crispiness.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (75°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.
- For even cooking, arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer on the baking sheet without overcrowding.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
