I’m sure we all love fried chicken. But what we don’t love is maybe all the extra oil that comes with fried chicken. Well, thanks to this Crispy Sriracha Buttermilk Oven Fried Chicken Recipe, we get to enjoy perfectly golden, crispy, and delicious “fried” chicken, but in a healthier way! This recipe is incredibly simple to make with a quick marinade, a breadcrumb and flour breading, and a few seasonings. And the result is tender and juicy chicken strips that everyone will love! Wondering how I came up with the perfect formula for oven fried chicken? Check out The Great Oven Fried Chicken Experiment!
Ingredients Needed:
Chicken Breasts: I use boneless and skinless chicken breasts cut into 2-3 thinner slices. Buttermilk and Sriracha Sauce: makes up a quick and simple marinade for the chicken. Sriracha adds flavor and spice while the acidity in the buttermilk breaks down the meat for a more tender texture. Panko Breadcrumbs and All-Purpose Flour: a simple breading that creates that perfect crispy texture. The flour helps absorb moisture while the Panko is what gets nice and crispy. Seasonings: we’re using a simple blend of salt, black pepper, paprika, and Lawry’s seasoning salt. Canola Oil: you’ll brush the parchment paper with oil before baking to help the chicken get crispy.

Tips and Notes
When you’re coating the chicken, make sure you really get in there and press the crumbs onto the chicken firmly so it sticks. No one wants their breading falling off their chicken! Be gentle when you’re flipping or moving the chicken. Check the temp. The internal temperature of the chicken should be 165ºF. Keep a meat thermometer on hand so you know when it’s done! Serve immediately. Oven-fried chicken is best hot and crispy out of the oven. Trust me. Make it spicier. I can’t handle a ton of spice but my husbands is obsessed with spicy food and would probably be happy with twice as much Sriracha in the marinade. Feel free to play around with amounts to find just the right flavor for you! You can use chicken thighs if preferred, but they will take longer to cook. Make sure you’re checking the temperature!
Serving Suggestions
This Oven Fried Chicken is perfect served next to other comfort foods! I love to serve them with Garlic Mashed Potatoes, Healthier Baked Mac and Cheese, Healthier Slow Cooker Hamburger Helper, or Homemade Coleslaw.
