Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken and basic aromatics like onions and garlic in the produce or meat sections of your local neighborhood shops or supermarkets in Freetown. Breadcrumbs, mayonnaise, and margarine are readily available in the baking or condiment aisles of any grocery store.
Preparation method
- Begin by washing the chicken pieces thoroughly and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces well with salt, pepper, garlic, and your preferred spices.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir the mixture well until it forms a smooth, uniform paste.
- Lightly grease a baking dish or roasting tray with a small amount of margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces in the dish side-by-side, making sure they do not overlap.
- Spread the mayonnaise and cheese paste over each piece of chicken, ensuring the entire surface is evenly covered.
- Distribute the cubed margarine over the top of the coating on each piece of chicken.
- The added fat helps the crust turn deep golden brown and enhances the overall 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.
- Please note that actual cooking time may vary depending on your oven and the size of the chicken pieces.
