By jennifergooding

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup hot sauce or barbecue sauce
• 6 tbsp butter
• 8 pieces bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts or drumsticks
• 3 cups salad croutons, ground into crumbs in food processor
• salt and pepper
• 1/4 cup flat leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°. Melt butter over low heat in a small pot and combine with hot sauce. Place chicken in a large bowl and season the pieces with salt and pepper. Pour the butter-hot sauce mixture over the chicken and toss the pieces to coat in the Buffalo sauce. Let stand for 10 minutes. Arrange the crushed croutons in a shallow dish. Add the parsley and mix with your fingers to combine. Press the hot sauce-coated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture to coat and set the pieces onto nonstick baking sheet. Transfer to the oven and bake for 40 minutes, until cooked through and golden brown.
