Oven-Baked Chicken Schnitzel

Oven-Baked Chicken Schnitzel

Chicken thighs and drumsticks in a schnitzel-style breadcrumb coating, baked in the oven instead of fried. I serve them with chili mayo sauce.

How I make it

  1. Put the flour in a bowl and season with the paprika and dried herbs.

  2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Put the breadcrumbs on a plate.

  3. Coat the chicken in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip it in the egg, then transfer it to the breadcrumbs.

  4. Place the coated chicken pieces in a baking pan lined with lightly greased parchment paper.

  5. Bake in an oven preheated to 390°F on the convection setting, 35 minutes on each side.

  6. For the sauce, stir the mayonnaise together with the chili sauce.

What I've learned

  • For a truly even coating, I put the breadcrumbs in a paper bag, add a few pieces of chicken at a time, close the bag, and shake well.
  • I serve this with chili mayo sauce and corn on the cob.
