Sesame Chicken

Instructions

1. Arrange the chicken in a bowl just large enough to hold it. Sprinkle on the herbes de Provence, season with salt and pepper to taste, and pour the buttermilk over the chicken. Marinate, covered, for 2 to 3 hours, turning occasionally.
2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
3. In a small bowl stir together the bread crumbs, sesame seeds and parsley.
4. Lift chicken pieces from the marinade, one at a time, and roll in the bread-crumb and sesame-seed mixture, coating each piece well. Arrange pieces in a shallow baking dish, and season lightly with salt and pepper.
5. Bake the chicken, basting with melted butter, until it is golden brown and done, 30 to 40 minutes. Dark meat may take a few minutes longer. Serve immediately, or cool to room temperature before eating.
