  • 1 cup Buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon Onion granules

  • ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper or to taste

  • Bring out the chicken, and arrange them on a baking paper lined tray.
  • Bake in the oven at a temperature of 200C/400F for 25 minutes or till the chicken breasts are cooked tender inside, no longer pink and the juice runs clear.

  • The pepper quantity can be adjusted to suit your personal taste.
  • Line the baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup of the tray.
