Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local supermarkets like NTUC FairPrice, Cold Storage, or Sheng Siong. Breadcrumbs and Parmesan are usually in the baking or pasta aisles, while fresh chicken and onions are located in the fresh produce and chilled meat sections.
Preparation method
- Start by cleaning the chicken pieces thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces generously with salt, pepper, garlic, and your preferred spices.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir the mixture well until it forms a uniform, thick paste.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or tray with a little butter.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the tray in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Spread the mayonnaise and cheese paste evenly over each piece, ensuring the surface is well covered.
- Distribute the small cubes of butter over the top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- This step is essential to help achieve a beautiful golden colour and enhance 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.
- Note that cooking times may vary depending on your oven model and the size of the chicken pieces.
