Ingredients:

2 cups bread crumbs
220g
1/2 tsp red pepper (spice)
0.90g
1 whole chicken
1050g
1 stick butter
110g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Chicken:
Carefully cut the whole chicken into 8 pieces: two breasts, two thighs, two drumsticks, and two wings.
3. Season Panko Mixture:
In a large bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs with the red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly to ensure the pepper is evenly distributed.
4. Melt Butter:
Melt the stick of butter in a microwave-safe dish or on the stovetop until fully liquid.
5. Coat Chicken:
Dip each piece of chicken into the melted butter, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, roll the butter-coated chicken pieces in the panko mixture, pressing down gently to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
6. Arrange on Baking Sheet:
Place a wire rack over a baking sheet. Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the wire rack. This will allow the heat to circulate evenly and help achieve a crispy texture.
7. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Cooking times may vary depending on the size of the chicken pieces.
8. Serve:
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve hot.

Tips:

- For an extra crispy coating, toast the panko bread crumbs lightly in a pan before using them.

- Ensure the chicken is evenly coated with butter before applying the bread crumb mixture for a better stick and even cooking.

- If you prefer, substitute butter with olive oil for a healthier alternative.

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to retain juiciness before serving.

- Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) to ensure it’s fully cooked.

With minimal preparation and simple ingredients, our Oven-fried Panko Chicken is an excellent choice for a mouthwatering meal. Follow these steps and tips for a perfectly crispy and flavorful chicken dish that will surely impress your family and friends. Enjoy your cooking adventure with this delightful recipe!
