CRUNCHY OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN 
3 tablespoons buttermilk
1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice*
1/4 tsp Dijon-style mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp white pepper
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 chicken cutlets (4oz. each), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
1 1/2 oz. (1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp) cornflake crumbs
2 tsn vegetable oil, divided

To pound chicken cutlets, place them between 2 sheets of plastic wrap 9for easy clean up), then pound with a meat mallet, bottom of a sauce pan, or a heavy can.

Preheat oven to 450°F.

In small mixing bowl combine buttermilk, lime juice, mustard, and seasonings, stirring to combine. Dip chicken into buttermilk mixture, coating both sides and using entire mixture: on a sheet of wax paper or a paper plate dip chicken into cornflakes crumbs, turning to coat both sides with crumbs. Arrange chicken on nonstick baking sheet.

Drizzle 1/2 teaspoon oil over each cutlet and bake until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes; turn chicken over, drizzle each cutlet with 1/2 teaspoon oil and continue baking until chicken is tender and coating is crisp, about 10 minutes longer.
