How to Make 5 Star Oven Fried Chicken

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Spray a large baking sheet with cooking spray.
  3. In a shallow glass or plastic bowl, pour 1 cup buttermilk.
  4. Add 1.5 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces (thighs, drumsticks, or breasts).
  5. Turn chicken to coat completely in buttermilk. Let stand for 5 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, in a large resealable food-storage bag, crush 2 cups of cereal (like crushed corn flakes or Rice Krispies) using a rolling pin.
  7. Add 1 cup Bisquick baking mix and 1 tablespoon Ranch dressing mix (or your preferred seasoning mix) to the crushed cereal in the bag.
  8. Remove chicken from buttermilk, discarding the buttermilk.
  9. Add the chicken to the cereal mixture in the bag.
  10. Seal the bag tightly and shake vigorously to coat the chicken evenly.
  11. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  13. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
