Oven "Fried" Chicken

I love this dish so much! I made it for my family for New Year's Eve dinner and for my husband on Valentine's Day. It is also super easy to make. I love fried chicken, and oven fried chicken makes frying no hassle!



Servings: 6

1. 8 pieces of chicken fillet
2. 1 cup all purpose powder
3. 1 teaspoon salt
4. 1/2 teaspoon pepper
5. 1 large egg
6. 2 tablespoon water
7. 1 cup dry bread crumbs with herbs
8. 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
9. lemon wedges for serving

Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 200 degree celcius or 400 degree Fahrenheit.
2. Rinse the chicken in cold water. Pat dry with kitchen paper.
3. Combine the flour, pepper, salt, on a plate with a fork to mix. Coat the chicken pieces on all sides with the flour and shakes off the excess.
4. Sprinkle a little water on to the chicken pieces, and coat again lightly with the seasoned flour.
5. Beat the egg with the water in a shallow dish. Stir in the herbs. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, turning them over to coat them thoroughly.
6. Combine the breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese in a plate. Roll the chieken pieces in the crumbs, patting with your fingers to help them adhere.
7. Place the chicken pieces in a greased shallow baking dish, large enough to hold them in one layer. Bake until thoroughly cooked and golden brown, 20-30 minutes. (To check if they are cooked, prick with a fork; the juices that run out should be clear, not pink. ) Serve hot, with lemon wedges.
