Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Grease your pan well or add parchment paper.
- Mix together buttermilk, lemon juice, spices, garlic, salt, and pepper to a large freezer bag. Add chicken and coat with mixture. Seal bag ensuring all air is removed from bag and place in the refrigerator for 3 hours or up 12 hours.
- Mix Panko bread crumbs and seasoning of your choice together.
- Beat egg in separate bowl.
- Remove chicken from the marinade, letting the excess drip off.
- Dip in egg mixture to coat, then into the panko bread crumbs. Doing this in small batches I find works best to keep the coating adhering to the chicken.
- Place in the pan and bake for 45 minutes until golden and crisp.
