Preparation Steps

Soak chicken thighs and drumsticks in a mixture of buttermilk and Dijon mustard for at least 30 minutes or overnight for richer flavor.
Pulse garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, and thyme in a food processor, then add day-old bread to form a crumb mixture.
Place marinated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and coat each piece with the seasoned bread crumbs.
Preheat oven to 400°F and roast chicken for about 40 minutes until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Let chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.
