Where to find ingredients
You can find all ingredients at your local supermarket. Look for high-quality chicken thigh cutlets in the meat section. For the breadcrumbs, plain dry crumbs work best for a classic crunch, but you can use Panko as a substitute if you prefer an extra light and crispy texture.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken pieces with grated onion, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, plain flour, and paprika.
- Set the crumb mixture aside.
- In a deep plate, lightly whisk the egg whites together with the milk.
- Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the egg and milk wash, ensuring it is thoroughly coated.
- Next, dredge the chicken pieces in the flour and crumb mixture, pressing to coat them completely.
- Grease a baking dish with half of the margarine and dot the remainder on the bottom.
- Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in the baking dish over the margarine.
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminium foil.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
- Remove the aluminium foil and continue to bake for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
- Check that the chicken is fully cooked and serve while hot.
