Ingredients
4 Servings
- 5 g black pepper
- 480 ml buttermilk
- 8 chicken legs
- cooking spray
- 240 g flour
- 5 g garlic powder
- 5 g onion powder
- 10 g paprika
- 5 g salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken legs. Let them soak for at least 30 minutes to tenderize.
Step 3
In another large bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Remove the chicken legs from the buttermilk, allowing the excess to drip off, and dredge them in the flour mixture until fully coated.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken legs on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F).
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
