Ingredients:
6 chicken drumsticks or thighs
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
Cooking spray or olive oil
Directions:
Marinate chicken in buttermilk for at least 2 hours (or overnight in the fridge).
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Spray with oil.
In a bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Remove chicken from buttermilk, shake off excess, and coat each piece in the flour mixture.
Place coated chicken on the wire rack. Lightly spray the tops with oil.
Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
Let rest 5 minutes. Enjoy that crispy, juicy, “KFC” style bite—without frying
