BAKED-UP FRIED CHICKEN, LOW FAT

• Spray rack with cooking spray.
• In a large bowl, whisk buttermilk with egg white, add chicken and turn to evenly coat.
• Measure flour, salt, garlic powder, oregano, chili powder and baking powder into a large plastic bag.
• Close top and gently shake to evenly mix.
• Remove chicken, one piece at a time, from buttermilk and shake off excess liquid, then place in bag.
• Close top and shake gently to evenly coat.
• Remove from bag, shaking off excess coating, then place on rack, repeat with remaining chicken, one piece at a time.
• Discard any remaining milk and flour mixtures.
• Using a brush, lightly dab oil as evenly as possible over coating on chicken.
• Bake in centre of preheated oven until coating is crisp and golden, about 30 minutes.
• TIP:.
• If you have time, let chicken marinate in buttermilk before roasting. This makes it even more tender and adds tang, too! Place chicken and buttermilk mixture in a large plastic bag. Push chicken down into marinade, then squeeze out as much air as possible from bag. Seal tightly with an elastic band as close to chicken as possible. Place in a large bowl. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight. Then proceed with recipe as written.

OVEN FRIED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN - LOW FAT, BUT TASTY!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Set a rack on a foil lined baking sheet. Spray the rack generously with cooking spray.
• Finely grind the cereal and toasts together in a food processor. Transfer crumbs to a large gallon size plastic bag. Add the oil, salt, cayenne, paprika, and ground pepper and toss to mix thoroughly.
• Whisk the buttermilk and Dijon mustard together in a medium shallow bowl. Add chicken to buttermilk/Dijon and turn to coat all the pieces evenly. Drop the chicken into the plastic bag, seal and shake until each piece is evenly coated.
• Place coated pieces on the prepared rack. Spray the chicken pieces evenly with cooking spray, and bake until the coating crisps and browns, approximately 35 to 40 minutes.
• Transfer to a platter and serve hot or at room temperature.
• Cook's note: I like to cook the chicken on the bone for a real moist and juicy chicken experience. If you can't find bone-in skinless chicken, simply pull off the skin before coating. Chicken breast halves can be quite large. To get a healthy 6 ounce portion, cut the breast pieces crosswise with a heavy knife into pieces about the same size as a chicken thigh.
