| Chicken in the marinade |
- Heat the oven to 220’C.
- Remove the chicken from the buttermilk mixture and don’t take off all the buttermilk, leave enough on so that the crumbs have something to stick to.

| Chicken coated in crumbs |
- Combine the crumbs with the salt and paprika and coat the chicken.
- Place the chicken on the wire rack over a roasting tray and place in the oven.
- Because the heat of the oven is so high, you will have to check on the chicken every 7-10 minutes to make sure it’s not burning. If the chicken is browning to much in the first 10 minutes, turn your oven down to 180’C. The chicken should be cooked after approximately 25 minutes, just cut into a piece and make the flesh closest to the bone is not pink.

| Oops, slightly burnt… |

| Tasty chicken |
- Serve immediately (with vegetables and starch of your choice).
