Baked Crispy Chicken Recipe

Sharing is caring!

These crispy chicken pieces are an absolute treat for kids and adults. Marinated with a spicy egg mixture then coated in breadcrumbs for a nice crisp before being baked not fried. A very simple and easy recipe that needs only 10 minutes of work and 40 minutes of baking.

Everyone loves crispy deep-fried chicken but these are oven-baked instead of fried. Of course, these can also be deep-fried in oil. (see all meat recipes)

Today, I am baking them in a casserole but you can also place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Ingredients and substitutes

  • Chicken – I like to use both chicken thighs and legs. Remove the backbone if attached to the thigh so it is easier to cook and easier to eat.
  • Spices – these are lightly spiced with a few simple homemade spices but you can also use 1 tbsp of bottle masala instead.
  • Breadcrumbs – Breadcrumbs make a lovely coating. For the coating here I have used breadcrumbs but if you like a thicker coating (similar to KFC) use crushed cornflakes. Then coat them well with oil before baking.

Equipment /Tools

  • Baking Dish
  • Mixing bowl

Ingredients

  • 6 chicken legs trimmed and patted dry

Marinade

  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper powder
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne chilly powder
  • 1/2 tsp Coriander powder dhania
  • 1/4 tsp Cumin powder jeera
  • 1/4 tsp Turmeric haldi
  • 2 tbsp All-purose flour maida

Coating

  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • !/2 tsp Pepper powder

Instructions

  • Oven – Preheat the oven to 190°C/ 375°F / Gas Mark 5
  • Marinade – In a large bowl combine all marinade ingredients. Egg with spices, salt, pepper, and flour. Add the chicken pieces
    Pro tip – Use a whisk to ensure the marinade is smooth. You can leave this chicken to marinate for up to 8 hours in the refrigerator. Thaw an hour before baking.
  • Coating – In another bowl, combine the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Remove them from the marinade and add them to the coating mixture one at a time pressing to make sure the coating does not fall.
    Pro tip – make sure the breadcrumb coats each chicken piece well so you have a nice crisp texture when baked.
  • Bake – Place the chicken pieces into a 13 x 9 baking dish. Spray generously with cooking spray. Bake for 40 to 45 minutes until lightly golden.
    Pro tip – You can also use a baking tray lined with parchment paper. A cooking spray works best for this recipe but you can also use a brush and coat each chicken with oil.
  • Cool – when baked remove the chicken from the pan and place them on a wire rack. This will prevent them from going soggy on the bottom.
