1/4 cup All-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon Pepper

8 pieces Boneless or bone-in chicken, skin removed if desired

3 tablespoons Butter, melted

Preparation

Heat oven to 400. Spray broiler pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a shallow bowl, combine buttermilk and 1 tablespoon of the taco seasoning mix; mix well.


In another shallow bowl, combine remaining taco-seasoning mix, breadcrumbs, flour, salt and pepper, mix well.


Dip chicken pieces in buttermilk mixture; coat with breadcrumb mixture. Place on sprayed broiler pan. Let stand 10 minutes. Drizzle chicken with butter. Bake 45 - 55 minutes or until chicken is fork tender and juices run clear.
