- 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.
