Oven Fried Chicken night = deliciousness!

hey quick note, thanks for stopping by Backyard Foodie, Can I ask you for a quick favor, Can you  click "follow" up top.  I really would appreciate it.  

So my wife requested I make this the other night.  We used to pick up the take-out chicken; you know the one in the bucket,  but w/ all the grease it started to make us sick when we ate it.  Here's a guilt-less way to enjoy grandma's fried chicken and still get that crunch. 

The key is the Japanese Panko Bread crumbs.  They're unseasoned and made from real bread. I like this alot b/c you can control the flavor and sodium content.   For this particular night, I put dried rosemary, parsley, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper.  

Preheat oven to 350, then lock your door, cuz your friends will come over to eat all of it.

8 chicken thighs skin-optional; leaving the skin on gives the extra crunch. It also works well w/ out the skin.   I'm a big fan of thighs. [twss]

2 cups of panko bread crumbs

1 tbs of each rosemary and parsley

1 tsp kosher salt

10 grinds from the pepper mill 

2 cups of buttermilk

Best w/ mac & cheese, sweatpants and side of Air conditioning.  Enjoy.  Comment below and thank you for reading.

8 hours before hand, marinate w/ butter milk
