In a medium bowl, combine buttermilk, hot sauce, salt, pepper and then add chicken. Mix to coat chicken well. Cover. Set aside or place in refrigerator to marinate.
Next, place bread in food processor and chop into fine crumbs.
Put bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and thyme in a bowl and mix together well.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees (F)
Prepare a baking sheet by coating with a thin layer of olive oil spread across pan. I usually use a basting brush to spread the oil and coat the pan.
Remove one piece of chicken from marinade at a time and dredge the piece of chicken in the breadcrumb mixture. Be sure to coat the chicken evenly and then place on baking sheet. Repeat for each piece of chicken.
Bake chicken for 40 mins. or until the temperature on a meat thermometer reaches approximately 160 degrees (F).
Enjoy!
