    • Cornmeal isn't just for muffins. Use it to make a satisfying oven-fried chicken that will look and taste as good as the deep-fried version. Soaking the chicken breasts in buttermilk serves three functions: it tenderizes the meat, adds flavor, and help the cornmeal and spices to adhere. Any mix of your favorite spices would work well for the cornmeal coating.

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Gather these tools: cutting board; chef's knife; wet and dry measuring cups; measuring spoons; pastry brush; resealable plastic bag; shallow baking dish; sheet pan

    Combine chicken and buttermilk in a resealable plastic bag and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (The chicken can sit in the buttermilk for up to 8 hours, if you'd like.)

    Preheat oven to 400 F. Brush a sheet pan with vegetable oil and set aside.

    In a shallow baking dish, mix the cornmeal, salt, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Shake well to combine. Remove one piece of chicken from the buttermilk and shake off any excess liquid. Put the chicken in the dish one piece at a time and shake well to coat. Place the coated chicken pieces on the oil sheet pan as you work.

    Brush the chicken with the remaining oil, and bake for 20 minutes. Serve Immediately.

    Instead of cornmeal, I'd go for crushed corn flakes. Be sure not to crush the flakes too much, though. For better taste, I'd also use butter instead of vegetable oil. Pour some melted butter on the chicken before it goes into the oven. Yummy - and super crispy!

    I think the sodium values are skewed. Keep in mind, you're NOT going to use all the salt since there will be leftover along with the cornmeal and spices. My pieces (wings) hardly tasted salty, and I probably used double the amount of salt. I would add that I used a toaster oven and used an additional sheet of foil to prevent burning on top of the wings I added the sheet about halfway through the cooking time. The wings were delicious!!

    I just paid $24,31 for an iPad2-64GB and my girlfriend loves her Panasonic GF 1 Camera that we got for $34,26 there arriving tomorrow by UPS. I will never pay such expensive retail prices in stores again. Especially when I also sold a 42 inch LED TV to my boss for $678 which only cost me $68,18 to buy. Here is the website we use to get it all from, CentSpace.com
