Ingredients

4 skinless chicken breasts (or whatever you fancy)
wet ingredients
1 egg white
1/2 cup buttermilk
dry ingredients
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne
for brushing
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

1

Preheat oven to 425F (220C).
2

Whisk the egg white and buttermilk together, then pour into a pie plate.
3

Measure all dry ingredients into a paper or plastic bag and mix.
4

Dip one breast (or whatever) into the buttermilk mixture and place in the seasoning bag. Close top and gently shake to evenly coat. Place on a baking sheet with shallow sides. Repeat with remaining chicken. Discard the remainder of the seasoning.
5

Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the seasoning-coated chicken with the vegetable oil. This amount of oil is essential for a crispy crust.

Bake uncovered until crisp and golden - approx 40-45 minutes.
