Steps:
- Put chicken breasts in large ziplock bag.
- Pour buttermilk over chicken in bag.

- Lift buttermilk coated chicken breasts out of bag and roll in crumbs.
- Or, you could do the shake and bake method.
- Spray pan with cooking spray.
- If you have a rack you can set on the pan, spray that.
- Set chicken pieces on rack on in pan.
- You could also use a broiler pan.
- Optional: Spray chicken pieces with butter flavored Pam if you have some around.
- Bake chicken pieces at 375 for about 35 to 40 minutes.
BAKED TACO CHICKEN
a batch of this lip-smacking chicken will spice up your next supper. The mildly seasoned chicken pieces could be pan-fried or deep-fried, but we like oven baking the best because it cuts down on fat.

Steps:
- Slice each chicken breast horizontally into 2 thin fillets. Place chicken in a resealable zip-top bag with buttermilk, Buffalo sauce, and garlic powder. Seal the bag and shake to blend ingredients and evenly coat the chicken. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Combine flour, poultry seasoning, and pepper in a shallow dish or pie plate. Blend with a fork or whisk.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and shake off excess. Dip chicken in the breading mixture until well and evenly coated on both sides. Discard the remaining marinade.
- Add enough oil to a large skillet so that it thickly coats the bottom; heat over medium-high heat until sizzling but not smoking. Place 2 chicken fillets in the skillet so they fit comfortably; do not overcrowd. Fry until crispy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Drain chicken on paper towels and repeat, adding more oil as necessary, to fry remaining chicken. Transfer chicken to a baking sheet.
- Finish chicken breasts in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 8 to 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs for the best results. They are more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts.
- Make sure to pat the chicken thighs dry before coating them in the breading mixture. This will help the breading adhere to the chicken.
- Be generous with the taco seasoning. It is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor.
- Coat the chicken in the breading mixture twice for a crispy coating.
- Bake the chicken at a high temperature (400 degrees Fahrenheit) for a short amount of time (15-20 minutes) to ensure that the chicken is cooked through but still juicy.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite taco toppings, such as salsa, guacamole, sour cream, and cheese.
Conclusion:
Taco-flavored oven-fried chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is also a great recipe to use up leftover chicken. The chicken is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, and it is packed with flavor from the taco seasoning. Serve it with your favorite taco toppings and enjoy!
