Oven-Fried Chicken


Courtesy of Leslie Horn

1 package chicken tenderloins or chicken breasts cut into finger-sized pieces
2 c. buttermilk
2 c. flour
salt and pepper
cajun seasoning
cooking spray
Country Gravy mix

Place chicken pieces in a bowl. Cover with buttermilk; be sure all of the chicken is exposed to the buttermilk. Chill in refrigerator for at least one hour.

Preheat oven to 400. Pour flour into a pie plate, add salt and pepper, and cajun seasoning. Shake excess buttermilk off of each piece of chicken, dredge in flour, and place on a cookie sheet (covered in parchment paper, non-stick aluminum foil, or a Silpat). Continue with each piece of chicken, then spray them all with cooking spray.

Place chicken in the oven, bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through. Serve with rice and country gravy.

I made these and they were very yummy - and tender.
I used "mrs dash hot and spicy" seasoning in my mix instead of cajun & it was great. this will be a family staple, I'm sure, thanks les!
