Where to find ingredients
You can find all these staples at any standard grocery store. Skinless chicken thighs or drumsticks are available in the meat aisle. Breadcrumbs are typically found in the baking or dry goods aisle; look for standard or panko types depending on your preferred crunch. Worcestershire sauce is in the condiments section. Fresh lemon juice works best, but bottled is fine if you're in a rush. For the margarine, any standard baking or tub margarine will work perfectly.
Preparation method
- Season the chicken pieces with grated onion, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, oregano, and Worcestershire sauce
- Let the chicken marinate for at least 15 minutes to soak up the flavors
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, and paprika
- Set the breading station aside
- In another deep bowl, lightly beat the egg whites together with the milk
- Dip each piece of marinated chicken into the egg and milk mixture, ensuring it is well coated
- Then, press the chicken pieces firmly into the breadcrumb mixture until they are completely covered
- Grease a baking dish with half of the margarine and place the rest in little dabs on the bottom
- Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in the baking dish over the margarine
- Cover the baking dish tightly with aluminum foil
- Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20 minutes
- Remove the foil and bake for another 30 minutes, or until the chicken is beautifully golden and cooked through
- Check for doneness and serve while hot
