1 small roasting chicken, cut into parts ( or 2 breasts and 2 leg quarters, skin on or off as desired)
2 cups coarsely ground dry bread crumbs
Salt and pepper
Instructions
Combine the buttermilk with the paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl and stir together. Add the chicken pieces, turning to coat evenly, and then refrigerate for 2 hours.
Shake excess buttermilk from the chicken pieces and then coat each piece evenly with breadcrumbs. Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and lay the coated pieces on the pan. Sprinkle lightly with salt, and then bake at 350 degrees until cooked through, about 45 minutes.
(NOTE: If you want your chicken pieces nice and crispy all over, cook them on a wire rack set over the baking sheet instead of putting the chicken directly on the baking sheet!)
