Who doesn't love fried chicken? An all-time favorite, this chicken gets extra flavor from ranch dressing mix.
Ingredient List
- 2/3 cup buttermilk
- 8 boneless skinless chicken breasts (2 1/2 lb)
- 1 cup corn flakes cereal
- 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
- 2 packages (1 oz each) ranch dressing mix (dry)
- Cooking spray
Preparation
- Heat oven to 400°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Pour buttermilk into shallow glass or plastic bowl. Add chicken; turn to coat. Let stand 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, in 2-quart resealable food-storage plastic bag, crush cereal with rolling pin. Add flour and dressing mix (dry) to cereal in bag. Remove chicken from buttermilk; discard buttermilk. Add chicken to cereal mixture. Seal bag; shake to coat.
- Place chicken on cookie sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Bake 45 to 50 minutes or until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (170°F).
Tips
- Bake it the night before, then pack it up for a picnic in the park the next day!
- Create a new recipe just by cutting up the chicken! For Oven-Fried Chicken Fingers, cut chicken breast halves crosswise into 1 1/2-inch strips before coating with buttermilk. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes. Turn strips; bake about 20 minutes longer or until chicken is no longer pink in center.
