Where to find ingredients
You can find breadcrumbs and seasonings in the dry goods aisle of local grocery stores. Fresh chicken pieces, margarine, and onions are available in the fresh produce and refrigerated sections. Parmesan cheese is typically found in the dairy aisle.
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 choice.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir well until the mixture forms a consistent, smooth paste.
- Grease a baking dish or roasting tray with a small amount of margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the dish side-by-side, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Spread the mayonnaise and cheese paste generously over each piece of chicken, ensuring the entire surface is well-covered.
- Distribute the small cubes of margarine on top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- This will help achieve a perfect golden brown finish and enhance the flavor.
- 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.
- Note that baking time may vary depending on your oven's performance and the size of the chicken portions.
