Preparation

Step 1

Place chicken and buttermilk in a large bowl or zip-top plastic bag, turning chicken to coat all sides. Cover or seal, and chill 8 hours. Drain chicken, discarding buttermilk. Combine flour, poultry seasoning and lemon pepper in a bowl. Set aside. Whisk egg whites in a medium bowl until frothy. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg whites; gently press chicken in crushed cereal. Arrange chicken on a wire rack coated with cooking spray in a foil-lined 15”x10” jellyroll pan. (Do not overlap chicken.) Lightly coat chicken evenly on both sides with cooking spray. Bake at 375F for 45 mins or until chicken is done.
