Recipe Introduction


Served with slaw or potato salad, this chicken dinner will feel like an indoor picnic. Any leftover chicken will make a great school lunch.





List of Ingredients



• vegetable oil, for baking sheet
  
• 8 slices white bread
  
• 1 cup buttermilk
  
• 1 tsp hot pepper sauce
  
• salt and pepper
  
• 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  
• 1 tsp dried thyme
  
• 4 lbs chicken parts (preferably legs, thighs, and wings), rinsed and patted dry
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Generously rub a baking sheet with oil. In a food processor, pulse bread until it turns into coarse crumbs.
   
2. In a large bowl, stir together buttermilk, hot pepper sauce, 3/4 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper. In a separate bowl, mix breadcrumbs, parmesan, thyme, and 1/8 tsp pepper.
   
3. Place the chicken in the buttermilk mixture, turning to coat evenly. Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from liquid, letting excess drip back into bowl; dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat evenly. Place coated chicken pieces on prepared baking sheet.
   
4. Bake until chicken is golden brown, about 35 minutes.
   






Final Comments


Note: Leave enough space between the chicken pieces so that they crisp evenly all the way around.
