Crispy Garlic Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
• Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
• Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Put a sheet tray in the oven to preheat.
• Wash and trim the chicken legs of any excess fat. Mix the garlic, rosemary and panko together in a shallow rimmed dish and season well with salt and pepper. Alternately, crush the garlic and rosemary with some olive oil and salt in a mortar and pestle.
• Crack the eggs into a similar dish, add the milk and whisk to combine. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. In another dish add the flour and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Take the chicken legs and 1 at a time, dredge in the flour, then the egg wash and then coat well with the rosemary-garlic panko bread crumbs. Lay the chicken legs out on a tray lined with parchment paper, as you work. Refrigerate the legs for about 15 to 20 minutes for the breading to set.
• Remove the hot sheet tray from the oven and drizzle with a good amount of olive oil. Arrange the chicken legs carefully on the tray, spacing them out evenly (the chicken will sizzle when added to the hot oil). Roast until the chicken legs are golden and crispy, about 35 to 40 minutes Remove the chicken from the oven to a serving platter. Season with salt and serve with lemon wedges.

Steps:

• 1. Heat oven to 400 degrees F. Line cookie sheet with foil; spray with cooking spray. Between pieces of plastic wrap or waxed paper, place each chicken breast smooth side down; gently pound with flat side of meat mallet or rolling pin until about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper to taste.
• 2. In shallow dish, mix butter, 3 tablespoons of the cooking sauce and the garlic powder. In another shallow dish, mix bread crumbs and cheese. Dip chicken into butter mixture, then dip into bread crumb mixture to coat. Place on cookie sheet.
• 3. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, turning once, until juice of chicken is clear when center of thickest part is cut (at least 165 degrees F) and coating is golden brown. Meanwhile, heat remaining sauce until hot. Serve chicken with pasta and sauce. Sprinkle with additional cheese and basil.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375ºF.
• Spray rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray. Combine coating mix and cheeses in shaker bag. Remove 1/4 cup coating mixture; reserve for later use.
• Moisten chicken with water. Add, 1 piece at a time, to remaining coating mixture in bag; close bag, then shake gently to evenly coat chicken. Place on one side of prepared baking sheet. Top with any remaining coating mixture. Spread tomatoes onto other side of baking sheet.
• Bake 28 to 30 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF).
• Meanwhile, cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, omitting salt. While pasta is cooking, grate zest from 1 lemon; set aside. Squeeze juice from both lemons into small saucepan; stir in broth. Bring to boil; simmer on medium-low heat 6 to 8 min. or until slightly thickened. Add butter and lemon zest; simmer 3 to 4 min. or until butter is melted and mixture is well blended, stirring occasionally.
• Drain pasta; return to pan. Add lemon sauce; toss to coat. Add roasted tomatoes, reserved coating mixture and parsley; mix lightly. Serve topped with chicken.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Set oven rack to lowest position.
• Grease a small baking sheet.
• In a shallow bowl combine melted butter with 1-1/2 teaspoons garlic powder and (if using) 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard.
• In another bowl combine all breading ingredients (remove about half to another small bowl to add in as needed).
• Dip the breast into the melted butter turning a few times to coat generously, then coat in the breading mixture pressing down firmly with hands to adhere the coating to the breast (you may need to turn the chicken breast a few time to coat well).
• Place on baking sheet.
• Continue with remaining chicken adding in more breading to the bowl as needed to coat the chicken.
• Bake for about 35-40 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

Steps:

• Make a production line of a board, two wide, shallow bowls or dishes, and a baking tray that will comfortably fit the chicken, lined with baking parchment or oiled foil.
• If intending to bake immediately, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. (Otherwise, remember to turn the oven on 10 mins before baking.)
• In the first dish, mix the parmesan, mayo, garlic, lemon zest, herbs and seasoning to form a paste - a tablespoon does this well, and helps at the next stage. Tip the crumbs into the second dish and shake so they cover the base.
• Now the messy part. Put the chicken on the board and, if necessary, trim and discard any flappy bits. Blot well with kitchen paper - this will help the coating stick.
• Slide the first breast into the mayo mix and use the spoon to make sure it is coated all over. Pick it up by the pointy end and place on the crumbs. Use a spoon to cover completely with crumbs, and press them on gently until covered all over. Pick up once again by the 'tail' and place on the prepared baking tray. Repeat with the second breast, then discard any leftover mayo and crumbs.
• Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a board and slice into three or four thick slices, scatter over the chives and serve with the lemon wedges, roasted potatoes and tomatoes, if you like.

Steps:

• For the sauce: In a medium sauce pan, cook over medium heat the olive oil and garlic to slightly soften; do not let it brown. Add the honey, soya sauce and black pepper. Continue to cook over medium heat and simmer sauce for 5-10 minutes, watching carefully as it simmers because it can foam up and overflow. Remove from heat and allow to cool thoroughly; set aside.
• The coating: Mix together the 'coating mixture'; set aside.
• The wash: In a seperate bowl, whisk together the slightly beaten eggs and cold water.
• Wash and pat dry the wing sections. Dip the wing pieces into the egg wash and then toss into the flour mixture to evenly coat.
• Drop the coated wings into a preheated 350 degree F deep fryer, filled with vegetable oil.
• Fry until golden brown, about 15-20 min depending on the size of the wing pieces. While still hot out of the oil, toss the wing pieces in a large bowl with some of the honey garlic sauce.
