Crunchy Baked Chicken

Cut up chicken, I use 2 kgs (4.4 lbs) of boneless skinless chicken breasts cut in half. Recipe can be adapted to suit your choice of pieces and halved easily to make less.

1 box Panko Bread Crumbs…

1/4 cup olive oil

1 tsp salt

2 tsps. paprika

2 tsps. celery salt

1/2 tsp pepper

1/4 tsp garlic salt

2 tsps. basil

2 tsps. oregano

Wash chicken and pierce it with a knife. 1/4 – 1/2 inch slits work perfectly. Marinate it in milk (buttermilk or regular) for at least 1/2 hour. Shake milk off and coat with above mixture. I do it in batches to keep the breadcrumb mixture dry so it sticks better. I also use my knuckles to press the breadcrumbs into the chicken firmly.

Bake at 375 for 40 minutes
