Baked "Fried" Chicken

Ingredients

2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 cup flour
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sicilian Sea Salt
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Black Pepper, Coarse Grind
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sesame Seed
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Paprika
1 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Red Pepper, Ground Cayenne or to taste
1/2 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Sage, Rubbed
1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Gourmet Collection Mustard, Ground
2 cups corn flakes, crushed
6 bone-in chicken pieces

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Coat baking pan with oil. Mix flour, sea salt and pepper in shallow dish. Mix buttermilk, mustard, sesame seed, paprika, ground red pepper, sage and ground mustard in large bowl. Place crushed corn flakes in shallow dish. Set aside. Rinse chicken in cold water; pat dry.

2. Coat each chicken piece in flour mixture, tapping chicken against bowl to remove excess flour. Discard any remaining flour.

3. Dip each chicken piece into buttermilk bath, then roll in corn flakes to coat. Arrange chicken pieces in prepared pan.

4. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 375°F. Bake 25 to 30 minutes longer or until chicken is cooked through and crispy. (Juices should run clear when meat is pierced with a knife.)

Tips

Test Kitchen Tip: Crush corn flakes by placing them in large resealable plastic bag, carefully pressing bag to push out air. Seal bag. Crush flakes with a rolling pin.
