Rub crushed garlic on both sides of the chicken. Drizzle the chicken with buttermilk and spread gently over both sides. 3. Prepare 4 cups of fresh bread crumbs and place into a large shallow dish (e.g. pie plate). Add the parsley, thyme, and paprika to it and gently mix to combine well. 4. Coat each piece of chicken with the bread crumb mixture by pressing and packing the bread crumbs well into all sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on the prepared cookie sheet. 5.
