Feel good about eating crispy, oven-fried chicken with this healthy GOYA® recipe! First, soak chicken breasts in tangy buttermilk, garlic and GOYA® Adobo All-Purpose Seasoning with Pepper, to make it super tender and tasty. Then, dust it with a generous coating of ground almonds (high in heart-healthy monounsaturated fat). As the chicken cooks in the oven, the almonds become golden brown and crisp, sealing in the juicy chicken. One bite and you’ll never go back to regular fried chicken, again!
