Preparation

How to prepare Baked Crispy Chicken

To prepare the oven-baked crispy chicken, start by cleaning the chicken breast, removing any cartilage and small bones 1. First, cut into fillets 2, then slightly angle the knife to create slices 3.

In a bowl, place the oat flakes and breadcrumbs 4, then mix. Add the chili powder 5 and paprika 6.

Mix again 7 to achieve an even coating. In another bowl, crack the eggs, add a pinch of salt 8, and beat with a fork 9.

Dip the chicken first in the egg 10 and then in the breadcrumb mixture 11. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and brush it with 1 tsp of oil. Arrange the chicken pieces on the tray and drizzle with the remaining 1 tsp of oil 12.

Bake in a static oven at 350°F for 20 minutes, turning the chicken halfway through cooking 13. Once golden 14, your crispy chicken is ready to serve 15!

Storage

It's best to consume the oven-baked crispy chicken immediately; if needed, you can store it in the fridge in a sealed container for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes before serving.

Advice

You can customize the coating as you prefer: for a gluten-free version, replace the breadcrumbs with cornmeal or rice flour, while for a more rustic flavor, you can use chopped nuts like almonds or hazelnuts.

To make the oven-baked crispy chicken even lighter, you can replace the egg with Greek yogurt or mustard to help the coating adhere.
