Almond-crusted oven-fried chicken

This is a zesty and healthier variation on the traditional fried chicken. It uses almond meal instead of breadcrumbs for a crunchy coating without frying. This is one of my friends' favorites but it does need to marinate for the better part of a day, so plan ahead.
Ingredients
- 1 C. reduced fat buttermilk (or regular) shopping list
- 2 or 3 T curry powder shopping list
- 2 or 3 t kosher salt shopping list
- 1 t ground black pepper shopping list
- 8 pieces chicken (bone in) shopping list
- 1/2 C almond meal shopping list
- 1 t chipotle chili powder shopping list
How to make it
- Wash and pat dry the chicken pieces and put into a large bowl.
- Mix together the curry, salt, pepper, and buttermilk. Pour over the chicken and mix well to coat.
- Marinate in the fridge for 6-24 hours.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Place chicken in a foil-lined baking dish. Feel free to pour on any marinade left in the bowl to thoroughly coat the pieces.
- Mix the chili powder into the almond meal and sprinkle over the chicken pieces to cover evenly.
- Bake uncovered for 50 min. to 1 hour or until the chicken is done and the skin is crunchy and brown.
- Serve with a salad of mixed greens, pistachios, and crumbled goat cheese for a fresh and similarly "not-quite-traditional" side.
