Chris (lil sis) LOVES chicken! I think that one day, she might grow some feathers and start laying eggs. She and I are always on the hunt for new chicken dishes for us to try that require not a lot of work but is still delicious. She likes spicy stuff, so I know she's gonna like this. I know I did! Marinating time is included in the passive time

OMG - I totally botched the method on this recipe! I just didn't read it thoroughly the day before. So, my 5 star rating is for the flavour. The flavour is outstanding! The chicken was really nice & moist, too, even though I didn't marinate for 2 hours in the fridge. I mixed all the spices together with the breadcrumbs & cornmeal straight off the bat - so, I dunked the chicken in it anyway, then soaked in the buttermilk for a few minutes & then coated in more spice/crumb mixture. I think I baked for about 40 minutes - by that point, I was so confused, it wasn't even funny!!

    I made this as part of our dinner on 4/10/08.After rubbing the seasoning blend into the chicken,I left it to soak in the buttermilk for about 3 hours. I did however have a problem with the coating coming off the chicken. And to us it didn't have that much of a heat factor to it.But I will have to say it was very moist. We miss you Amy,and when we think of you we'll "Keep Smiling "

    This is now my most favorite recipe for oven fried chicken! I don't know if it's the buttermilk soak, the southwest spices or the addition of crunchy cornmeal in the crust that makes this recipe so good....probably it's a combination of all those pieces. I followed the instructions, except for the addition of some chipotle powder with the spices, and some olive oil drizzled on each piece of chicken after breading and just before baking. I used breasts, but think that some drumsticks will be the way I go in the future.

    This chicken turned out crispy on the outside and moist and juicy on the inside. I love the fact that it is baked instead of fried. It was seasoned well too. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
