Weight Watchers Oven-Fried Chicken Ingredients:

• 2 pounds bone-in, skinless chicken pieces (such as thighs and drumsticks)
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 2 teaspoons hot sauce
• 2 cups cornflakes, crushed
• 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray or olive oil spray

Weight Watchers Oven-Fried Chicken Directions:

• Buttermilk Bath Initiation:
  • In a large bowl, mix buttermilk, Dijon mustard, and hot sauce. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and tenderness.
• Cornflake Crunch Preparation:
  • Crush the cornflakes into coarse crumbs and set aside. These will provide a crispy, oven-baked coating for the chicken.
• Flour Blend:
  • In another bowl, combine whole wheat flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. This will add flavor to the chicken coating.
• Coat the Chicken:
  • Remove chicken pieces from the buttermilk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour blend, ensuring an even coat. Then press the flour-coated chicken into the crushed cornflakes for a crispy coating.
• Prepare the Baking Pan:
  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or place a wire rack on the sheet. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the baking pan, ensuring they are spaced evenly.
• Spray with Olive Oil:
  • Lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray or olive oil spray to enhance crispiness without deep frying.
• Bake:
  • Bake the chicken for 40-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
• Resting Period:
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to ensure the juices redistribute within the meat.
