Buttermilk Baked Chicken
Ingredients
- 1 can (354 mL) Carnation® Regular, 2% or Fat Free Evaporated Milk
- 1/4 cup (50 mL) white vinegar or lemon juice
- 8 pieces of chicken with the bone (breasts, thighs, legs, wings)
- 2 cups (500 mL) Robin Hood® All Purpose Flour
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1:
Combine evaporated milk and vinegar in a large bowl. It will thicken up. Add chicken pieces and make sure the pieces are covered in the milk mixture. Cover well and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
Step 2:
Preheat oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 3:
Place flour in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from milk mixture. Dip chicken pieces into flour, shaking off any excess. Place on prepared baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 4:
Bake in preheated oven 50 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Turn chicken over after 30 minutes and continue baking.
Variations:
Step 5:
Add 1 tbsp (15 mL) smoked paprika and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) cayenne pepper to evaporated milk mixture.
Step 6:
Add 2 tsp (10 mL) curry powder to evaporated milk mixture.
Step 7:
Add 2 tsp (10 ml) dried oregano and 1 clove garlic, minced to evaporated milk mixture.
Tip
Chicken is cooked when the internal temperature reaches 165ºF (74ºC). Using an instant read thermometer takes all the guess work away.
