🍗 Homemade KFC-Style Oven-Baked Chicken 🌿
Ingredients:
8 pieces chicken (drumsticks, thighs, or bone-in breasts)
2 cups buttermilk
1 tablespoon hot sauce (optional)
1½ cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
1 tablespoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray or oil
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and hot sauce (if using). Add chicken, cover, and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place a wire rack on a baking sheet and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, thyme, cayenne (if using), salt, and black pepper.
Remove chicken from marinade, letting excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing to coat well.
Arrange chicken on the prepared rack and spray generously with cooking spray or lightly drizzle with oil.
Bake for 45–55 minutes, or until golden brown, crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
