Ingredients
Scale
- 1 whole chicken, cut up
- 3 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons garlic pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Olive oil for drizzling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures your oven is ready to bake the chicken to perfection.
- Combine the dry ingredients. In a baking pan, mix together the flour, garlic pepper, sugar, and paprika. This blend of spices and flour is what gives the chicken its flavorful crust.
- Prepare the buttermilk mixture. In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, baking powder, and baking soda until smooth. This mixture acts as the glue for the flour coating.
- Coat the chicken. Dip each piece of chicken into the buttermilk mixture, shaking off the excess, then roll in the flour mixture. For a thicker crust, dip and roll a second time.
- Bake. Place the coated chicken pieces in the baking pan. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for about 50-55 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
