Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray oil to prevent sticking.

2. Prepare the Egg Mixture:
In a shallow bowl, crack the egg and beat it lightly with a fork. Add the 2 tablespoons of teriyaki sauce to the beaten egg and mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. Prepare the Bread Crumb Mixture:
In another shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs and finely chopped fresh parsley. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of parsley.

4. Coat the Chicken Thighs:
Take each chicken thigh and dip it into the egg-teriyaki mixture, making sure it is completely coated. Allow any excess to drip off back into the bowl.

5. Bread the Chicken Thighs:
Transfer the egg-coated chicken thigh into the bread crumb mixture. Gently press the bread crumbs onto the chicken to ensure an even coating on all sides. Repeat this step for each chicken thigh.

6. Arrange on Baking Tray:
Place the crumb-coated chicken thighs onto the prepared baking tray, making sure they are spaced evenly and not touching. This allows for even cooking and crispiness.

7. Lightly Spray with Oil:
Give a short spray of cooking oil over the tops of the bread crumbed chicken thighs. This will help them crisp up nicely in the oven.

8. Bake:
Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken thighs are golden brown and cooked through. To ensure they are done, you can cut into one of the larger pieces to check if the juices run clear or use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature has reached 75°C (165°F).

9. Serve:
Once cooked, remove the chicken thighs from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh parsley if desired, alongside your favorite sides like steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.

Congratulations, you've made Teriyaki Crumbed Chicken! Whether you serve it with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or over a bed of rice, this dish is sure to become a favorite. Enjoy the harmonious blend of flavors and the satisfying crunch of this delightful meal.

Teriyaki crumbed chicken FAQ:

What is the best way to tell if the chicken thighs are done cooking?

The chicken thighs are done when they are golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 75°C (165°F). You can check doneness by cutting into one of the larger pieces to see if the juices run clear.

Can I use a different type of chicken instead of thighs?

Yes, you can use chicken breasts or drumsticks. However, cooking times may vary; ensure all chicken pieces reach the proper internal temperature.

How should I store leftover Teriyaki Crumbed Chicken?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in an oven or microwave until warmed through.

What can I substitute for bread crumbs in this recipe?

You can use crushed crackers, panko breadcrumbs, or even ground nuts as a substitute for the traditional bread crumbs.

How long do I bake the chicken for optimal crispiness?

Bake the chicken thighs for 25-30 minutes at 200°C (390°F) until they are golden brown and crispy. Ensure they are not touching on the baking tray for even cooking.

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken thighs in teriyaki sauce for a few hours before starting the recipe.

- Make sure the chicken thighs are of even thickness to ensure they all cook evenly.

- For added crunch, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.

- If you prefer a spicier kick, add some crushed red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture.

- To make the breading process less messy, use one hand for wet ingredients (egg mixture) and the other hand for dry ingredients (bread crumbs).
