1

Heat oven to 400°F. Sprinkle both sides of the chicken pieces with seasoned salt and cayenne pepper. Place chicken in large resealable plastic bag placed in large bowl. Pour 2 cups of the buttermilk over chicken. Seal bag; refrigerate 1 hour or overnight.
2

Line a 13x9-inch shallow baking pan with foil. Place a cooling rack over pan; generously spray cooling rack with nonstick cooking spray.
3

In medium shallow bowl, mix eggs with remaining buttermilk; whisk until smooth. Place Bisquick mix in small shallow bowl. Place cereal in another small shallow bowl.
4

Remove chicken pieces one at a time from the buttermilk; dredge in Bisquick mix, then egg wash, then cereal, coating chicken pieces completely.
5

Place chicken pieces, bone sides down, on rack. Spray top of chicken with cooking spray.
6

Bake uncovered, on middle oven rack, for about 50 minutes or until juices run clear.

For a leaner version of this recipe, remove skin from chicken before marinating chicken pieces in buttermilk. Substitute egg whites for whole eggs and use low fat buttermilk.
