Crispy, juicy and packed with Southern-inspired flavour, this oven-baked chicken delivers all the satisfaction of fried chicken with none of the deep frying.

Ingredients
- 1 tsp Organic Louisiana Fried Chicken
- 8 (5–6 oz) bone-in, skinless chicken thighs, excess fat trimmed
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Directions
- Season chicken with salt. Add chicken to buttermilk and marinate overnight.
- Preheat oven to 400°. Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and spray wire rack with non-stick cooking spray.
- Pour Panko into a shallow mixing bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss and rub with fingertips to evenly moisten. Season with Louisiana Fried Chicken to taste, then toss.
- Working with one piece of chicken at a time, transfer to Panko, dredging both sides in the mixture and pressing into crumbs so they stick, sprinkling and pressing crumbs over top as well.
- Transfer chicken pieces to prepared wire rack, spacing evenly apart. Bake until golden brown and cooked through (centre of thickest portion should register 165°F on an instant read thermometer), about 50 minutes.
