baked fried chicken
Lots of crunch, less guilt and mess
INGREDIENTS
serves 4
3 lbs chicken (your favorite parts)
1 cup flour 1 tsp each salt and black pepper (optional 1 tsp five spice)
2 eggs scrambled mixed with a bunch of Franks Red Hot (or your favorite hot sauce or none)
2 cups panko bread crumbs
Butter for greasing wire rack
PREP
Preheat oven to 425
Rinse and pat dry chicken
Get three pie plates or large shallow bowls
Plate 1 add flour, salt and pepper (sometimes I add five spice)
Plate 2 add eggs mixed with hot sauce
Plate 3 add bread crumbs
Rub wire rack liberally with butter and place in baking sheet
Dredge chicken one piece at a time in flour, then egg mixture then coat in bread crumbs
Use one hand for wet ingredients and the other for dry
Place chicken skin side up on wire rack
Bake 50 minutes-1hr depending on oven, if you have a convection setting the chicken will be crispier
Serve with rice-amazo and something green
