Buttermilk Panko Crusted Oven Fried Chicken Recipes

BUTTERMILK PANKO-CRUSTED OVEN FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Marinate chicken in buttermilk, thyme, cayenne, and garlic powder for 4 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Mix the panko crumbs with the all-purpose seasoning. Panko bread crumbs really make this chicken, so don't substitute if possible.
• Without rinsing the chicken, dredge in beaten egg, then bread crumb mixture.
• Place breaded chicken on a foil-lined baking sheet.
• Spray chicken with a little non-stick spray.
• Bake for 25-30 minutes, until coating is crispy and juices run clear.

BAKED PANKO-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Combine Greek yogurt, red peppers, balsamic vinegar, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder in a mini food processor. Blend until smooth and refrigerate dipping sauce until ready to use.
• In a small bowl combine 1/4 teaspoon each of garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle over chicken tenders and toss to coat evenly. Set aside.
• Toast panko crumbs in a skillet over medium-high heat until a golden brown color, 4 to 5 minutes. Place panko into a shallow dish. Crack egg into a separate shallow dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg, letting excess drip off, then coat with panko. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Serve with the dipping sauce.
