Buttermilk Ranch Oven Fried Chicken Recipe 395

Steps:

• Whisk the buttermilk, mayonnaise, half of the thyme, 1 teaspoon paprika, the onion and garlic powders, cayenne and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat; cover and refrigerate at least 3 hours or overnight.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven and preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil and set a wire rack on each; coat the racks with cooking spray. Combine the breadcrumbs, chives, the remaining thyme and 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere. Put the white meat on one wire rack and the dark meat on the other rack, skin-side up. Coat the chicken with cooking spray. Transfer to the oven, placing the dark meat on the bottom oven rack; bake until the crust is golden and a thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the meat registers 165 degrees F, 50 to 55 minutes. Let cool slightly on the wire racks, 10 minutes. Season with salt.

• Heat oven to 425°F Melt butter in rectangular baking dish, 13x9x2 inches, in oven.
• In a gallon plastic bag, mix together Bisquick, and Hidden Valley Buttermilk Ranch dressing. Coat chicken one piece at a time, but placing in bag and shaking. Place skin sides down in dish (dish and butter should be hot).
• Bake 35 minutes; turn chicken. Bake about 15 minutes longer or until juice is no longer pink when centers of thickest pieces are cut.

Steps:

• Combine chicken, ranch seasoning, and buttermilk in a large ziploc bag. Turn the bag over several times to ensure the chicken is coated with the ranch and buttermilk and place in the refrigerator. Refrigerate for the entire day or at least one hour. Preheat the oven to 425F. Spay a large baking sheet with cooking spray and set aside. Combine corn muffin mix and seasonings in a shallow bowl.

Shake off excess and place chicken, bone side down, on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for remaining chicken pieces. Lightly spray the top of each piece of chicken with cooking spray. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear. Check the chicken at about 30 minutes and if the coating is turning too brown, just place a piece of foil lightly over the top of the chicken to prevent further browning.
