Ingredients
  • cooking spray, as needed
  • 2 cups fat free buttermilk
  • 4-6 skin-on chicken legs
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 2-3 cups honey & oat cluster cereal
  • 2 tablespoons spicy mustard
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 375. Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  2. Pour the fat free buttermilk into a Ziploc bag (large enough to accomodate all your chicken pieces) OR a bowl deep enough to cover most of the chicken. Place the chicken in the buttermilk, sprinkle with the paprika, seal, and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes, turning once to evenly coat.
  3. While the chicken soaks, place the cereal in the food processor and pulse until coarse crumbs form (the crumbs will be roughly the size of the oats). If you don't have a food processor you can seal up the cereal in another Ziploc bag and then crush it on the counter. Dump the cereal crumbs in a shallow dish.
  4. Roll the buttermilk soaked chicken pieces one at a time in the cereal crumbs, pressing the crumbs on with your fingers to help coat (if necessary). Place each breaded chicken piece in the prepared baking dish, just far enough apart that they don't touch. Spritz over the top of the chicken with a little more cooking spray.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes-- the juices will run clear; internal temp should be 165.
  6. While the chicken bakes, whisk together the spicy mustard, honey, rice wine vinegar, and mayonnaise.
  7. Drizzle the honey mustard over the baked chicken to serve.
