Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major supermarkets like Carrefour or Naivas, as well as local neighborhood dukas. Use high-quality local poultry for the best result. As a substitute for store-bought breadcrumbs, you can pulse slightly dried-out white bread in a food processor.
Preparation method
- Start by preparing the chicken: wash the pieces thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and your preferred aromatics.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan, 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.
- Dot the top of each coated chicken piece with the small cubes of margarine.
- This helps to achieve a beautiful golden colour and enhances the overall flavour.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and crisp.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
