Oven-Fried Buttermilk Chicken Recipe
Marinating the chicken overnight in buttermilk and hot sauce makes this oven-fried chicken tender, moist, and flavorful. The hot sauce adds enough heat to give it a little something extra, but not too much that kids wouldn't love it. The crushed corn flakes coat gives it a delicious crunch - you can either put the corn flakes in a plastic zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin, or run it through a food processor until it becomes coarse crumbs.
This is a great picnic treat too. Cook the chicken right before you leave and carry it warm, uncovered, in a container (a basket is great) lined with foil and paper napkins.
For a no-fuss weeknight meal: Mariniate the chicken the night before and prepare the coating. When you get home, just pull the chicken out, coat, and fry in the oven. Serve with coleslaw and biscuits!
Serves 4
4 large garlic cloves, peeled and lightly crushed
3 tablespoons hot sauce (Tabasco works great)
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 skinless chicken thights
4 skinless chicken drumsticks
1-1/4 cups cornflakes, crushed into crumbs
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, melted
Combine buttermilk, garlic, hot sauce, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper in a bowl, and stir until well-mixed.
Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Place the chicken in a 13 x 9-inch baking dish, and pour the buttermilk mixture over it. Turn the chicken with a pair of tongs until pieces are nicely-coated. Cover and refrigerate for 12 hours, turning once halfway through.
When you are ready to cook, heat the oven to 400 degrees and arrange the rack in the middle. Put a metal baking/cooling rack on top of a baking sheet and set aside.
Season the crushed cornflakes with salt and pepper to your taste. Remove a piece of chicken, let the excess marinade drip off, and press it into the cornflakes until it is coated. Repeat with the remaining pieces, and place them on the rack-lined baking sheet. Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken pieces.
Bake until golden and crispy, or when it reaches the internal temperature of 160 degrees, about 35 minutes.

Birth Order
By Renee Martinez
February 8, 2012
I find it interesting how birth order seems to play a significant role in who a child will become. I have 4 boys, and I want to make sure that their birth order will not hinder their full potential. Birth order can can be a factor in career choices, behavior, personality type, or even how well they will do in school. Is birth order a good predictor of a child’s future?
