Recipe Introduction

Though buttermilk may sound sinful, it is actually nonfat or low-fat milk with added bacteria, which produces a slightly sour taste. If you don't have buttermilk, add 1 tsp of vinegar to 1/2 cup skim milk for this recipe.

List of Ingredients

1/2 cup fat-free buttermilk
2-3 drops hot red pepper sauce
1/2 cup cornflakes, crushed
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
2 pounds chicken parts, skinned
4 tsp canola oil

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees; spray a large baking sheet with nonstick
cooking spray. In a large shallow bowl, combine the buttermilk and pepper
sauce. On a sheet of wax paper, combine the cornflake crumbs, flour, salt and
pepper. Dip the chicken in the buttermilk, then dredge in the cornflake mixture,
coating completely. Place the chicken on the baking sheet; drizzle with the oil.
Bake 30 minutes; turn the chicken over. Bake until cooked through,
15-20 minutes longer.

NOTE: Cornflake crumbs add plenty of crunch and toastiness
without all the fat; nobody will miss the traditional fried-chicken coating!
