Buttermilk Oven Baked Chicken

6 boneless, skinless chicken breast cut into thirds

· 1 cup all-purpose flour

· 1/2 teaspoon salt

· ½ teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning

· 1 teaspoon garlic powder

· 3/4 teaspoon pepper

· 2 teaspoon paprika

· 1/2 stick butter (or 1/4 cup)

· Buttermilk


Place thawed chicken strips in a bowl of buttermilk, cover, and let soak 20-30 minutes in the refrigerator

Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.


Combine and mix thoroughly flour, salt, seasoned salt, pepper, and Paprika in a gallon-size Ziploc bag or bowl.


Cut 1/2 stick of butter into a few pieces and place in a 9- x 13-inch pan. Melt butter in preheated oven.



Spread melted butter around the bottom of the pan. Lightly spray the pan with cooking spray, if needed, to make sure that there are no dry spots.

Shake excess buttermilk off chicken and completely coat each piece in flour mixture. Either shake in the bag until coated or dip each piece in the bowl until coated.

Place each piece of chicken in the preheated pan. Bake for 20 minutes. Turn each piece of chicken over and continue baking for 20 minutes more, or until cooked through (170 degrees F).




NOTES: We uses chicken thighs.  The longer the buttermilk soak the better, we try for six to eight hours, longer if needed. Want less Chicken?  Just cut the recipe.   Very tender and tasty.
