Fried Chicken with Buttermilk

Fried chicken may be quintessential summertime picnic food, but when the colder months come around we still crave the crispy goodness of fried chicken. What we do not love are the calories! This oven-baked “fried” chicken recipe comes out super crisp yet without all the added fat of a standard deep-fried chicken. The trick to making a pleasant crust on each side of the chicken is to preheat the oven with a cooking utensil inside – getting that cooking utensil nice and hot! once you are able to put the chicken within the oven, there’ll already be a heated surface to crisp rock bottom side of the chicken.

We love this dish any time of year served with the classic side dishes like coleslaw (try this creamy mayo-less recipe!) and potato salad! do this quaint salad recipe.
