Preparation

Step 1

[1] In a large resealable plastic bag, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Add chicken pieces and turn to coat. Refrigerate 2 hours, or up to all day.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

[2] Place bread in a food processor and pulse to form coarse crumbs. Lightly coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray.

[3] In a shallow dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest and thyme. Working one piece at a time, remove chicken from buttermilk, shaking off any excess; roll in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat evenly. Place chicken pieces on baking sheet.

[4] Bake until chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
