Serves: 6 Instead of using a rich egg or cream batter, the chicken in this recipe is dipped in whole wheat flour, buttermilk-egg batter, and then unsweetened cereal crumbs to make a wonderfully crispy hot baked chicken, or cold picnic chicken.

Variations: A whole chicken, cut-up, or even chicken breasts alone can be substituted for the chicken thighs.

Whole-grain bread crumbs can be substituted for cereal crumbs.

Cooking Note: Cereal crumbs can easily be prepared in a food processor or blender.
