Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Combine 1 cup buttermilk, 1/4 tsp paprika and 1/4 tsp ground red pepper in a large zip top plastic bag. Add chicken; seal bag and marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning bag occasionally.
3. Place corn directly on oven rack. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes. Cool slightly; remove husks and silks. Cut kernels from ears of corn, and place in a large bowl; discard corn cobs.
4. Combine remaining 1/4 cup buttermilk, parsley, and lemon juice in a bowl.
5. Combine remaining 1/4 tsp paprika and remaining 1/4 tsp ground red pepper and panko crumbs in a shallow dish. Remove chicken from marinade; discard marinade. Sprinkle chicken evenly with 1/4 tsp salt. Dredge chicken in panko mixture.
6. Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat; cook 8 minutes, until crip. Remove bacon from pan with a slotted spoon; set aside. Add oil to drippings in pan. Add chicken; cook 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and done.
7. Combine remaining 1/8 tsp salt, corn, bacon, green onions, roasted red peppers and red pepper liquid in a large bowl. Divide corn mixture evenly among 4 plates; top each with 1 chicken cutlet. Drizzle with buttermilk dressing.
