CHICKEN: This is a very easy & fail-safe recipe to cook chicken in the oven.

BAKED CRISPY CHICKEN:



4 bone-in chicken breast halves or legs

1 egg white

½ cup buttermilk

½ cup all purpose flour

1 tsp. baking powder

2 tbsp. oil


seasoning & spice mix:

1 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. dried thyme
1 tsp. oregano
1 tsp. salt
½ to 1 tsp. cayenne pepper




Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Remove skin and fat from chicken parts. Whisk egg white and buttermilk together. Pour mixture into a pie plate.

Sift flour, baking powder seasoning and spice mixture into a large sealable bag. Close top and shake to mix.

Dip each piece of chicken into egg white mixture then drop it into plastic bag. Shake gently to coat evenly. Repeat with the rest of chicken pieces. Transfer coated pieces to rack in a large baking pan. Using a pastry brush dipped in the oil, brush chicken pieces with oil.

Bake 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked and crust is golden and crisp.
