Special Diets:
Ingredients
- Olive spray oil
- 1/3 cup low-fat (1%) milk
- 1 egg
- 3/4 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
- 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 8 chicken pieces (cut-up small whole chicken or a combination of thighs and drumsticks)
Method
Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and place a wire rack on top. Lightly coat the rack with spray oil.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together milk and egg until combined.
In another shallow bowl, stir together bread crumbs, cheese, thyme and salt.
Coat 1 piece of chicken with egg mixture and then roll in panko mixture, pressing gently to help coating adhere.
Place on the rack and repeat with remaining chicken. Discard any remaining egg and panko mixtures.
Lightly coat chicken with spray oil and bake until crispy and cooked through, about 35 minutes.
