Oven Fried Chicken

Ingredients for 4 servings

4 chicken breast, skinless
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1-2 tsp. canola oil (for greasing bottom of baking sheet)
1 cup unbleached flour
2 tsp. salt
¼ tsp. cayenne pepper
2 tsp. fresh cracked black pepper
Canola cooking spray

Preparation

Wash and dry the chicken pieces. Place the chicken in a gallon-size Ziploc bag and pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Seal the bag well and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Add 1 to 2 tsp. of canola oil to cover bottom of a baking dish. Place the flour, pepper, salt and cayenne pepper in another gallon-size Ziploc bag and shake to blend the ingredients. Drain the chicken pieces briefly, then place on one piece at a time in the bag filled with seasoned flour. Shake the bag vigorously to coat the chicken well; place chicken in prepared baking dish.

Coat the top of the chicken pieces with a generous coat of canola oil spray. Bake in center of oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is nicely browned on the outside and cooked throughout on the inside.
