Oven Fried Chicken

Who doesn't love fried chicken? This healthier version is an easy dish to make on a lazy day.

Ingredients

Chicken - 4 nos.( Thighs, legs or breast ). I used thighs today.
Bread Crumbs - 2 cups
Eggs - 2
Salt - to taste
Pepper - 1-2 tsp
Parmesan Cheese - 1 tsp
Olive oil cooking spray
Seasonings (all or any combination)
Garlic Powder
Dried Oregano
Parsley Flakes
Chilly Flakes

How I baked it

1. Preheat the oven to 370F.

2. Beat the eggs and add a pinch of salt and pepper to it.

3. Prepare the Bread crumb mixture. If u are using Italian style bread crumbs, it is sufficient that you add salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese to it. Adding the garlic powder enhances the flavor.

Additionally, you can add any combination of seasonings.

4. Now get an assembly line ready - the egg mixture, the seasoned bread crumbs and the baking tray.

5. Dip each chicken piece first in the egg mixture, coat all the sides with the bread crumbs and shake the excess bread crumbs before placing on the baking tray.

6. Spray the chicken pieces with the cooking spray.

7. Place the tray on the middle rack and bake at 370F for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the size and number of chicken pieces. Keep turning the chicken every 15 minutes to evenly brown all sides.

Tips

Adding small cubes of butter on the chicken pieces towards the end of the baking .
