FEARLESS "FRIED" CHICKEN
4 bone-in chicken breast halves or legs
1 egg white
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. each of paprika, lean thyme, oregano, salt
1/2 - 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 tsp. vegetable oil
Preheat Oven to 425 degrees F.
Remove skin and any fat from chicken. In medium mixing bowl, whisk egg white with buttermilk.
Measure flour, baking powder and seasonings into a paper or plastic bag. Close top and gently shake to mix.
Dip a piece of chicken into buttermilk mixture, then place in bag. Close top and shake gently to evenly coat. Place on rack. Repeat with remaining chicken, one piece at a time.
Using pastry brush, lightly brush or dap oil over flour coating at chicken. This last step is essential for a crispy coat.
Bake in centre of preheated oven until coating is crisp and golden, from 40 - 45 minutes.
