Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken, mayonnaise, and pantry staples like breadcrumbs and margarine at major local retailers such as Choppies or Pick n Pay. Fresh onions and parmesan can be sourced from the produce and dairy sections of any local supermarket.
Preparation method
- Begin by preparing the chicken: wash the pieces thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and any other seasonings of your preference.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir well until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste.
- Grease a baking tray or oven dish with a little bit of margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on the tray in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cover each piece of chicken with the mayonnaise and cheese mixture, spreading it evenly to coat the entire surface.
- Distribute the small cubes of margarine on top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- This helps the chicken turn golden and adds extra flavor to the crust.
- Place in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crispy.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
