Fearless

This is taken from Chatelaine's "Quickies Chicken" recipe book. We make this fairly regularly, and I have to say this has all of the flavour of traditional fried chicken with a fraction of the calories.

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 skinless chicken breasts (or whatever you fancy)
1 egg white
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2-1 teaspoon cayenne
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
  • Whisk the egg white and buttermilk together, then pour into a pie plate.
  • Measure all dry ingredients into a paper or plastic bag and mix.
  • Dip one breast (or whatever) into the buttermilk mixture and place in the seasoning bag. Close top and gently shake to evenly coat. Place on a baking sheet with shallow sides. Repeat with remaining chicken. Discard the remainder of the seasoning.
  • Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the seasoning-coated chicken with the vegetable oil. This amount of oil is essential for a crispy crust.
  • Bake uncovered until crisp and golden - approx 40-45 minutes.
