Cooking tip: Pat chicken dry before combining with the buttermilk mixture so that it sits in the marinade alone.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 3 pounds (48 ounces) chicken legs
- 1 cup whole grain soy flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup canola oil
Directions:
- In a large bowl, mix buttermilk and lemon juice. Add chicken, cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours (can marinate overnight).
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Drain chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Combine soy flour, salt and pepper in a plastic bag. In two batches, add chicken and shake to coat. Place chicken on wire rack and let dry 15 minutes.
- Heat 1/2 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat, and fry chicken in batches 4 to 5 minutes per side, until golden brown.
- Place chicken on baking sheet and bake 25 to 30 minutes minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
