Where to find ingredients
General grocery stores or supermarkets. Mayonnaise is the standard condiment, while margarine is preferred for this specific crust texture; butter can be used as a substitute if preferred.
Preparation method
- Start by preparing the chicken: wash the pieces well and pat dry with paper towels
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and other seasonings of your choice
- In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs
- Stir well until a homogeneous paste is formed
- Grease a baking dish or tray with a little margarine
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the dish, side by side, without overlapping
- Cover each chicken piece with the prepared mayonnaise and cheese paste, spreading well to cover the entire surface
- Distribute the margarine cubes over the topping of each chicken piece
- This will help to brown the crust and add more flavor
- Bake 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
- The time may vary depending on the oven and the size of the pieces
