Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.

In a bowl, combine buttermilk and hot sauce; mix well.

In another bowl, crush cornflakes into small pieces.

In a third bowl, mix flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Dip each chicken breast into the buttermilk mixture, allowing excess to drip off.

Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip back into the buttermilk.

Finally, coat the chicken in crushed cornflakes, pressing to adhere.

Place coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle vegetable oil over the chicken for extra crispiness.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
