Recipe by Paula Bowman
Preheat oven to 400°F. Lightly coat a rimmed sheet pan with cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl or casserole dish, combine buttermilk, garlic, cayenne and 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir. Add chicken and turn to coat. Let rest 20 minutes and up to 12 hours refrigerated.
Meanwhile, combine cornflakes, parsley, remaining 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper in a bowl. Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from marinade and let excess buttermilk drip back into dish. Dredge chicken in cornflake mixture and turn to coat on all sides. Transfer to prepared sheet pan and repeat with remaining chicken.
Lightly coat chicken pieces with cooking spray and bake in oven until cooked through and golden brown, about 20 minutes for chicken breast and about 30 minutes for drumsticks and thighs.
