I have tried many different methods to make crispy breaded chicken, and this easy method is by far my favorite. My kids are crazy about this dish, we make it once a week and they ask for it every day. Give it a try, you won’t regret it!
This is a slight modification of the recipe “Tink’s Crunchy Panko Chicken” on food.com.
Ingredients
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs [preferably pasture-raised and soy/corn free]
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (sourdough breadcrumbs are best, but I usually use organic panko)
- 1 tbsp [sprouted] flour
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup [homemade] mayonnaise - recipe
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- Mayo and ketchup for dipping sauce – recipe for fermented ketchup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a metal baking pan with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray (I use avocado oil spray).
- Combine breadcrumbs, flour, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, salt and pepper in one bowl. Combine mayo and paprika in another bowl.
- For each piece of chicken thigh, dry it well with a paper towel, then coat with the mayo mixture and then with the breadcrumb mixture. Place on baking tray.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, until golden and cooked through.
- Make a simple dipping sauce for this chicken by mixing mayo and ketchup in a 2:1 ratio.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
I made this recipe for the first time and used these sourdough breadcrumbs https://www.ovenfreshdelivery.com/products/sourdough-bread-crumbs?ref=243 , and all parts of a whole chicken we cut up. We loved it!
What do you like to serve this with?
If you don’t keep mayo around, nor time to make homemade, it would be fine to use melted butter – which is what my mother used in her bread crumb/parmesan cheese/chopped parsley baked chicken breast coating, that was my favorite thing!! Of course add garlic and red pepper flakes too! Needs NO dipping sauce!
