If you don't have buttermilk on hand, pour 2 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice into a 2-cup measuring cup and add enough regular milk to measure 2 cups. Stir, then let stand 5 minutes.

Absolutely delicious chicken! I loved the combination of the savory ranch flavor, with the sweet and spicy breading! I marinated the chicken for about 8 hours before cooking rather than overnight. After reading the other reviews, I placed a cooling rack on top of the baking sheet so that the chicken would get crispy all the way around. It worked great! I will be making this again for sure :)

This chicken is delicious! I was wary about the texture of oven 'fried' chicken but this came out with a nice crunch. The corn bread does make it sweet, but it's a great flavor combination with the ranch. I didn't have buttermilk (or the time to marinate overnight) so I used regular milk and put it in a ziplock with the ranch packet for about 1/2 hour. Next time I think I would also place it on a rack inside the baking dish because the bottom was a little soggy, but other than that, a REALLY easy & yummy recipe! I'd highly recommend!

This recipe was the best i''ve seen for oven fried chicken (for its crispness), but the taste was not as flavorful as I expected. I let the chicken marinate in the ranch/buttermilk overnight and I expected the chicken to taste more like the ranch flavoring but it did not. Also, the muffin mix tasted a little weird because it gave the chicken a sweeter taste that I didn''t prefer. I would have to put extra seasoning in the breading if I made this again.
