Crispy Baked Chicken

Chicken with a crispy coating and moist tender meat, perfect for picnics and healthier than the fried version.
Put the mayonnaise, garlic paste and all the spices into a bowl and season lightly with some salt and pepper. Then mix it all well. In a separate bowl, add the herbs to the breadcrumbs plus a teaspoon each of salt and pepper.
Now dip one chicken piece at a time first into the mayonnaise mixture and then into the breadcrumbs mixture making sure to coat all the sides. Put them into a container and refrigerate for at least an hour or up to overnight for the flavours to infuse.
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Grease a baking tray lightly and then place the chicken pieces with the skin side facing up. Bake for 20 minutes and then turn the heat down to 180 C and continue to roast for another 20 minutes. You can then reduce the heat to 120 C and continue baking for another 15 minutes to ensure the chicken is falling off the bone.
Serve with a salad or accompaniments of your choice.
Enjoy!

Yes you can use skinless chicken, Rahila.
Thanks for the feedback, and yes you can.

I tried it yday n itz delicious!
salmz jazakallah,so much for ur recipes i made ur pizza rose my husbands friend were so imprest.once again jazakallah.
Is there a lower fat substitute for the mayo to make it healthier?
Unfortunately I have not found a good substitute. You can use low-fat mayo if you like.
D chicken ist cooked or uncooked
Start with raw chicken.
Salam thanks for the receipe. I have a question, if I don't have mayonnaise right know should I use anythong else? thank you
W/Salaam, this recipe works best with the mayo.
Yes you can use boneless chicken, but try and use breadcrumbs not flour.
can i use boneless chicken and flour instead of breadcrambs
can i use aluminium foil as a baking sheet
Yes that is fine.
can i deep fry it
I would not recommend frying this.
Hey Fauzia, do we need to marinate the chicken with anythng before coating thm wid d mayonaise and breadcrumbs?
Hi, no...the mayo and rest of the ingredients mixed into it are the marinade.
Yes you can. :)
Can I marinate this overnight?
Salams the instant dokra can I make it in a steamer?
How do I pour the mixture
W/Salaam, yes you can although I have never used a steamer so am not sure how it operates.
Asak fauzia...mine is a big family...I wanna make this but with 18 to 20 legs lol:) so approximately how much mayo should I be using?? TIA.
Just to confirm, 20 legs meaning the full leg (thigh and drumstick)? That will make it 40 pieces right? If so them multiply the ingredients by 4 as the recipe is for 5 full legs (thigh and drumsticks) which is 10 pieces total.
Assalam
Can i try this recipe with chicken breast

W/Salaam, yes you can.

I have a 500 gm pack of chicken drumsticks. Can I use it with this recipe with same ingredients and quantity?
Thanks
W/Salaam, this recipe is enough for 10 drumsticks. How many do you have in the pack? You can divide the recipe in half if you have around 5-6 drumsticks.
There are six drumsticks in the pack with skin.
Yes, then divide the recipe in half.
