Kicked Up Oven Fried Chicken

• 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
• 1/4 cup oil (can use olive oil)
• 2 tablespoons hot pepper sauce (I use President's Choice Louisiana hot sauce)
• 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (or to taste)
• 2 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt, divided
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 medium onions, sliced
• 11 -12 chicken pieces (skin on)
• 2 cups dry breadcrumbs (use only dry breadcrumbs!)
• 2/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 4 -5 tablespoons melted butter

1. In a large bowl (large enough to hold the chicken pieces) whisk the buttermilk, oil, hot pepper sauce, minced garlic, Dijon mustard, 1 teaspoon salt and about 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
2. Add in sliced onion and chicken pieces; turn to coat/mix well.
3. Cover and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours or up 24 hours, turning occasionally (I marinaded the chicken in the morning and baked it for dinner).
4. Place a cookie rack on a foil-lined 15x10-inch baking sheet (I was able to get 11 pieces of chicken on one rack).
5. In a bowl mix together dry breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, thyme spice, paprika, cayenne pepper, 1-1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt salt and garlic powder.
6. Remove the chicken pieces from marinade, allowing any excess marinade to drip off the chicken.
7. Dip the chicken pieces into the breadcrumb mixture and turn to coat completely.
8. Arrange chicken (skin-side up) on rack or racks on the baking sheets.
9. Let chicken stand for 30 minutes, NO more NO less!.
10. Set oven to 425u0b0F (bottom oven rack).
11. Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken pieces.
12. Bake until crisp, golden and cook through About 45 minutes (might take a little longer).
