Where to find ingredients
Fresh chicken and produce can be found at local supermarkets like Countdown, New World, or Pak'nSave. Grated parmesan and breadcrumbs are available in the baking or deli aisles. If fresh onion is unavailable, onion powder is a common substitute, and standard salted butter is the ideal choice for this recipe.
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 seasonings.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir well until the mixture forms a smooth, consistent paste.
- Grease a baking tray or roasting dish with a little butter.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on the tray, side by side, without overlapping.
- Spread the mayonnaise and cheese mixture over each piece of chicken, ensuring the entire surface is covered.
- Dot the cubes of butter over the top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- This helps the topping brown nicely and adds extra depth of 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 crispy.
- Cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
