- Kosher salt and black pepper
- 1 1/2 cups multi-grain panko breadcrumbs
- 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan
- 1 lemon, quartered, plus 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Combine the buttermilk and hot sauce in a shallow bowl.
- Season the chicken with salt and black pepper and submerge in the buttermilk mixture.
- Combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, lemon zest, red pepper flakes and a pinch each of salt and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture, letting the excess drip off, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
- Lay the pieces flat on a nonstick baking sheet and refrigerate, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
