• Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, cayenne, paprika, and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly.
• Whisk the buttermilk and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add chicken to buttermilk/Dijon and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated.
• Place coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray, and bake until the coating crisps and browns, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Cook's note: I like to cook the chicken on the bone for a real moist and juicy chicken experience. If you can't find bone-in skinless chicken, simply pull off the skin before coating. Chicken breast halves can be quite large. To get a healthy 6 ounce portion, cut the breast pieces crosswise with a heavy knife into pieces about the same size as a chicken thigh.

EASY OVEN-FINISHED FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin fillets. Place chicken in a resealable zip-top bag with buttermilk, Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and shake to blend ingredients and evenly coat the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Combine flour, poultry seasoning, and pepper in a shallow dish or pie plate. Blend with a fork or whisk.
• Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Dip chicken in the breading mixture until well and evenly coated on both sides. Discard the remaining marinade.
• Add enough oil to a large skillet so that it thickly coats the bottom; heat over medium-high heat until sizzling but not smoking. Place 2 chicken fillets in the skillet so they fit comfortably; do not overcrowd. Fry until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain chicken on paper towels and repeat, adding more oil as necessary, to fry remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
• Finish chicken breasts in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
