Where to find ingredients
You can find chicken, fresh produce, and pantry staples like breadcrumbs and mayonnaise at local markets and supermarkets in Port Moresby or regional centers. If margarine is unavailable, butter serves as an excellent, flavorful substitute for the topping.
Preparation method
- Begin by cleaning the chicken pieces thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and any other seasonings you prefer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
- Mix well until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste.
- Grease a baking tray or roasting pan with a little margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the pan, side by side, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cover each piece of chicken with the prepared mayonnaise and cheese mixture, spreading it well to coat the entire surface.
- Distribute the cubes of margarine over the top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- This helps the crust brown beautifully and adds extra flavor to the final result.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C for approximately 40 to 50 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
- Keep in mind that cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
