    "If you're making a double batch, you can reuse the cooking oil; just be sure to first remove any floating crispy bits using a small strainer." – Tracey Seaman

    Ingredients

    • 1 whole chicken (3 1/2 lbs.), breastbone, backbone and skin removed, cut into 8 pieces
    • 1 1/4 cups low-fat buttermilk
    • 1 tbsp. chopped garlic
    • 2 cups plain dried breadcrumbs

    • 1 1/2 tsp. salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

    2. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Italian herbs, salt and pepper. Remove the chicken pieces and coat them evenly with the breadcrumb mixture. 

    3. Drizzle with EVOO; place chicken pieces on a parchment-lined sheet and bake at 425° until the crust is crisp and the meat is cooked, 45 minutes.
