Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets and grocery stores in Liberia. Look for fresh chicken in the meat section. For ingredients like breadcrumbs, you can prepare your own by drying out stale bread or find them pre-packaged in the baking aisle. As a substitute for Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce with a pinch of sugar can be used if unavailable.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken pieces with grated onion, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce.
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- In a separate bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, and paprika.
- Set the mixture aside.
- In a deep dish, lightly beat the egg whites with the milk.
- Dip each marinated chicken piece into the egg white mixture, making sure to coat it well.
- Immediately dredge the chicken pieces in the flour mixture, ensuring they are completely covered.
- Grease a baking dish with half of the margarine and place the rest on the bottom.
- Arrange the breaded chicken pieces over the margarine in the dish.
- Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C for 20 minutes.
- Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
- Check for doneness and serve warm.
