Oven Roasted Chicken With A Cornmeal Crust

Repenting is neither more nor less than crying out to God in Christ, “Lord be merciful to me, a sinner.” Believing is rejoicing in the faithfulness of His promise, that as we so repent, we go home justified. It is not the depth and power of your repentance that earns God’s favor. None of us repent as deeply as we ought, and so must ever repent for the weakness of our repentance. But Jesus came to save sinners.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, lemon juice, 1
teaspoon of the lemon zest, olive oil, shallots, thyme, 2 teaspoons  of
the salt and 2 teaspoons of the chile powder. Add the chicken  turning
pieces to coat. Marinate refrigerated for 4 hours. In a  separate bowl
combine the cornmeal, bread crumbs, Parmesan, parsley  and the
remaining lemon zest, salt and the remaining chile powder.  Remove the
chicken from the marinade and drain briefly. Coat in the  egg mixture
and dredge in cornmeal mixture, patting to coat. The  chicken can be
prepared up to this point 3 hours in advance and kept  uncovered in the
refrigerator. On a lightly oiled baking pan arrange  the chicken skin
side up. Drizzle with the butter. Bake in a  preheated 425 degree oven
for 35 minutes until crisp and golden.  Remove to paper towels and
drain. Serve warm or at room temperature.  This recipe yields 4
