Ingredients
  

  • 8 pieces chicken bone-in
  • 2 cups buttermilk
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 3 tbsp butter melted

Method
 

  1. Soak the chicken in buttermilk for at least 1 hour.

  3. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned crumb mixture.
  4. Arrange on a wire rack over a baking sheet.

Notes

Baking on a wire rack keeps the bottom just as crispy as the top.
