Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 pieces of chicken legs, thighs, or breasts
  • 1 cup of seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowls
  • Resealable plastic bag
  • Cooking spray or oil
  • Meat thermometer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Lightly grease your baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine seasoned bread crumbs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
  5. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then place in the breadcrumb mixture and shake to coat.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced out.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, checking for doneness.
  8. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
