Ingredients

→ Marinade
8 chicken drumsticks or thighs
1 cup buttermilk
→ Coating
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
½ tsp dried thyme
½ tsp dried basil
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp cayenne (optional)
Olive oil spray or melted butter

Instructions

Place chicken drumsticks or thighs in a dish and pour in buttermilk. Marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
In a bowl, combine flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne (if using).
Remove chicken from buttermilk. Shake off any excess buttermilk and coat each piece thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture.
Arrange coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with olive oil or brush with melted butter for a crispy finish. Bake for 40–45 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
