Ingredients:
8 boneless chicken thighs (trimmed of all visible fat), about 1 1/2 lbs.
1/2 tsp. Paula Deen's House Seasoning (see note below)
1/4 c. reduced fat buttermilk
1 zest and juice of a lemon
2 egg whites
1/2 tsp. hot sauce
1 1/4 c. cornflake crumbs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Spray a large cast iron skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat over medium high heat.

Sprinkle the chicken with the house seasoning.

In a large bowl, combine the buttermilk, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg whites and hot sauce.  Add the chicken; toss to coat.

Place the cornflakes crumbs in another large bowl.  Dip the chicken into the crumbs and pressing so the crumbs adhere.

Place the chicken in the prepared skilled and then transfer to the oven.  Bake until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (40-45 minutes).

Note~
Paula Deen's House seasoning is a combination of salt, pepper and garlic powder.  4 parts salt, 1 part pepper and 1 part garlic powder.
