Description
This Oven-Fried Chicken has all the crispy, golden crunch of traditional fried chicken but is baked instead of fried! With a seasoned panko coating and juicy, tender chicken, it’s a family favorite that’s easy to make.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon seasoning salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, plus more if needed
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Step 2: In a shallow dish, whisk the eggs.
- Step 3: In a second shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, flour, seasoning salt, paprika, and pepper.
- Step 4: Coat each piece of chicken in the egg, then in the bread crumb mixture, pressing on firmly to adhere.
- Step 5: To a rimmed baking sheet, add the butter and put the pan in the oven to melt the butter.
- Step 6: Place each piece of chicken on the hot pan, leaving a good amount of space in between.
- Step 7: Bake for 20 minutes, flipping gently halfway through, or until cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) and the coating is browned.
- Step 8: Remove from pan and serve immediately.
Notes
For extra crispiness, do a double coat by dunking coated chicken in the egg again and coating once more in the bread crumb mixture.
