Easy Baked Crispy Chicken
These crispy chicken are an absolute treat with 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. 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. Of course, these can also be deep-fried in oil. (see all meat recipes)
