Ingredients

• 6 pieces bone-in chicken pieces (legs, thighs, or breasts)
• 2 cups buttermilk
• 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 4 cups cornbread (crumbled)
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 0.5 cups unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 cup celery (diced)
• 1 cup onion (diced)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon sage (ground)
• 2 tablespoons parsley (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (for baking)

Directions

Step 1

In a large bowl, pour the buttermilk over the chicken pieces and let them marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 2

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, and drizzle it with vegetable oil.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Remove the chicken from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off, and dredge each piece in the flour mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 4

Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 35–40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 5

While the chicken bakes, prepare the dressing. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of the butter over medium heat. Sauté the celery and onion until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 6

In a large bowl, combine the crumbled cornbread, sautéed vegetables, eggs, sage, parsley, melted butter, and chicken stock. Mix until the dressing is moist but not soggy.

Step 7

Transfer the dressing mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish. Cover with foil and bake alongside the chicken for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10–15 minutes, or until the top is golden and lightly crispy.

Step 8

Serve the oven-fried chicken alongside the dressing, garnished with additional parsley if desired. Enjoy your hearty meal!
