Where to find ingredients
You can find fresh chicken at local butchers or the meat counter at supermarkets like OK or Pick n Pay. Pantry staples such as mayonnaise, breadcrumbs, and margarine are readily available in the grocery aisles of any neighbourhood supermarket.
Preparation method
- Start by preparing the chicken: wash the pieces thoroughly and pat dry with paper towels.
- Season the chicken pieces with salt, pepper, garlic, and any other spices you prefer.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, grated onion, grated Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs.
- Stir well until you achieve a smooth, consistent paste.
- Grease a baking tray or roasting tin with a little margarine.
- Arrange the seasoned chicken pieces on the tray side by side, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Cover each piece of chicken with the prepared mayonnaise and cheese paste, spreading it well to coat the entire surface.
- Distribute the cubes of margarine over the topping of each chicken piece.
- This will help it brown beautifully and add extra flavour.
- Place in a preheated oven at 200°C for about 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 pieces.
