Where to find ingredients
In Jamaica, these ingredients are usually easy to find at supermarkets, neighbourhood grocery shops, meat shops and public markets, with chicken pieces from the meat counter and breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, Parmesan, onion, seasonings and margarine in the regular grocery aisles.
Preparation method
- Start by preparing the chicken: wash the pieces well and pat them dry with paper towel
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic and any other seasonings you prefer
- In a bowl, mix the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs
- Stir well until it forms a smooth paste
- Grease a baking tin or roasting pan with a little margarine
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the tin, side by side, without overlapping
- Cover each piece of chicken with the prepared mayonnaise and cheese paste, spreading it well to coat the whole surface
- Scatter the small cubes of margarine over the topping on each piece of chicken
- This will help it brown and add more flavour
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through inside and the topping is golden and crispy outside
- The time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the pieces
