4 skinless chicken breasts (or whatever you fancy)
wet ingredients
1 egg white
1/2 cup buttermilk

Preheat oven to 425F (220C).

Whisk the egg white and buttermilk together, then pour into a pie plate.
3
Measure all dry ingredients into a paper or plastic bag and mix.
4
Dip one breast (or whatever) into the buttermilk mixture and place in the seasoning bag. Close top and gently shake to evenly coat. Place on a baking sheet with shallow sides. Repeat with remaining chicken. Discard the remainder of the seasoning.
