Chicken
2
cups buttermilk
2
packages (1 oz each) ranch dressing mix
1
cut-up whole chicken (3 to 3 1/2 lb)
Cooking spray
Breading
1
pouch (6.5 oz) Betty Crocker® cornbread & muffin mix
1
teaspoon paprika
1
teaspoon pepper
1/2
teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8
teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)
Fresh parsley sprigs for garnish, if desired
  • 1 In large resealable food-storage plastic bag, mix buttermilk, dressing mix and chicken. Seal bag; turn bag several times to coat chicken. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.
  • 2 Heat oven to 425°F. Spray 15x10x1-inch pan with cooking spray. In shallow dish, mix breading ingredients. Remove chicken pieces one at a time from buttermilk mixture. Dip chicken in breading, turning to coat completely; shake off excess. Place chicken, bone side down, in pan. Lightly spray top of chicken with cooking spray.

Expert Tips

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, pour 2 tablespoons white vinegar or lemon juice into a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough regular milk to measure 2 cups. Stir, then let stand for 5 minutes.

I MADE THIS LAST NIGHT AND MY HUSBAND & SON REALLY LIKED IT. I THOUGHT IT WAS PRETTY GOOD BUT WASN'T OVERLY IMPRESSED. I USED BONELESS, SKINLESS CHICKEN BREASTS. THE BREADING STUCK TO THE BOTTOM OF MY GLASS DISH WHEN I TRIED TO REMOVE THE CHICKEN AND LIKE THE REVIEW BELOW MINE, IT DIDN'T LOOK ANYTHING LIKE THE PIC. I GIVE IT 4 SPOONS BECAUSE MY FAMILY LIKED THE TASTE SO MUCH. WILL MAKE THIS RECIPE AGAIN BUT WILL TRY SOME SORT OF MODIFICATION TO HELP WITH THE BREADING. I'M ALSO GOING TO TRY THE OVEN FRIED PICNIC CHICKEN TO SEE IF IT IS BETTER.

Dry mixture turned into crumbs after dipping chicken,breading broke apart upon turning chicken over because the bottom was verry soggy while the top appeared done. And my chicken looks nothing like the picture thats advertised.

Made this on the weekend; turned out great. So good, in fact, my husband thought it WAS fried! I added too much cayenne pepper, so it was a bit spicy for the kids. But overall, very juicy.
