Directions

  1. Make sure the chicken is fully defrosted. ≈ 3 min
  2. If the chicken is frozen, it may release some moisture during thawing, so it’s best to remove it. ≈ 3 min
  3. If necessary, cut the chicken into smaller pieces. ≈ 8 min
  4. The leg portions can be cut in half at the joint between the thigh and the calf. ≈ 3 min
  5. Crack the egg into a cup, add the spices, and mix well. ≈ 4 min
  6. Rub the chicken with the spice mixture. ≈ 4 min
  7. That’s fine, even though there’s still a bit of marinade left, as you can then place the chicken in the refrigerator and allow the marinade to penetrate the meat for a few minutes.
  8. Reapply the sauce to the chicken to moisten the surface. ≈ 4 min
  9. Preheat the oven to 220 °C (425 °F) using the convection and grill settings.
  10. Or, simply, at 220 °C. ≈ 3 min
  11. In this case, the oven will be hot enough.
  12. The pan should be placed at the lowest rack in the oven and positioned directly above it.
  13. Place the breadcrumbs in a dish and roll a portion of chicken in the breadcrumbs, then sprinkle more on and roll again until the entire portion is covered. ≈ 10 min
  14. Remove any excess breadcrumbs and place them on a separate plate. ≈ 3 min
  15. Repeat until you are finished. ≈ 3 min
  16. Place the chicken pieces in the oven, on the rack, and close the door.
  17. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the oven.
  18. In an oven with a fan and wire rack, this takes approximately 30 to 40 minutes.
  19. In another oven, you may need to make slight adjustments.
  20. The crust should be golden brown with some slightly darker spots when the fish is cooked, but always ensure that the fish is cooked through. ≈ 3 min
  21. The chicken can be served with a salad, and optionally with fried rice.
