Oven- Baked Crispy Chicken

This was great! The chicken was really moist.

2 cloves garlic
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
2 tsps salt
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup nonfat buttermilk
1 pound chicken tenders (I used chicken breasts and cut into strips
2 cups cornflakes, crushed to medium crumbs

In a medium bowl, combine the garlic, spices, and buttermilk. Add the chicken and turn in the marinade. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour. I marinaded mine much longer.

Put the cornflake crumbs on a plate. Drain the chicken. Place the chicken on the cornflakes & press down. Use your other hand to add the more crumbs to the top and side. Make sure the chicken is nicely & evenly coated.

Put the chicken on a cookie sheet covered in tinfoil and sprayed with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken in a single layer on the cookie sheet.

Bake at 400 degrees until firm about 15 minutes.

Enjoy!
