Garlic Parmesan Crispy Oven Fried Chicken

Instructions

1. 1
   Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and set a wire rack on top. Spray the rack lightly with cooking spray.
2. 2
   In a large bowl, add chicken and buttermilk. Toss to coat and let sit while you prep the breading.
3. 3
   In a shallow dish, mix panko, Parmesan, garlic, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and olive oil until the crumbs are evenly moistened.
4. 4
   Remove chicken from buttermilk one piece at a time. Dredge in breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides.
5. 5
   Arrange breaded chicken on the prepared rack. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden, crispy, and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C).
6. 6
   If desired, broil 1-2 minutes for even more color. Let rest a few minutes, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
