Directions

Grind up pecans (or almonds) in a coffee grinder or blender. Grind enough to have 2/3 cup for coating the chicken.
In a shallow bowl combine the ground pecans, paprika, salt and pepper.
Place flour and buttermilk in separate bowls.
Coat chicken with flour then dip in buttermilk and last coat with the pecan mixture.
Spray a 13" x 9" x 2" baking dish with cooking spray like Pam. Place the chicken once it's been coated in the prepared baking dish.
Bake uncovered at 375 °F (190 °C) for 35 to 40 minutes or until juices run clear and chicken is browned and crispy.
