UnFried Chicken

Adapted from Bobby Deen's UnFried Chicken

Ingredients:
8 skinless boneless chicken thighs, trimmed of all visible fat (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 teaspoon Paula Deen’s House Seasoning (4 parts salt, 1 part pepper, 1 part garlic powder)
1/4 cup buttermilk
Zest and juice of 1 lemon
1 egg white
1 teaspoon hot sauce
2 cups cornflake crumbs (just bash up a bowl of cornflakes- not sweetened)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add oil to a large oven safe saute pan and put on medium high heat.
Sprinkle the chicken with the House Seasoning. In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon zest, juice, egg white, and hot sauce. Add the chicken; toss to coat.
Place the cornflake crumbs on a sheet of wax paper. Dip the chicken into the crumbs pressing so the crumbs adhere. Place the chicken in the pan and sear one side.  After a few minutes, once a nice golden brown colour has developed, flip the chicken over and finish in the oven
Bake until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 25-30 minutes. Do not turn.

Over 1000 calories saved from actual fried chicken.  Nice crispy crust mimicking fried chicken!
