- In a medium bowl, add all seasonings, buttermilk, salt, and pepper and whisk to combine. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the corn flour, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper
- Dip chicken thighs into buttermilk, then place into bread crumbs. Press each chicken into the bread crumbs for optimal sticking. Liberally spray each piece of coated chicken with the cooking spray
