This is my husband's favorite meal for me to cook. The chicken is so moist and flavorful. The more seasonings you use the better it tastes. Mayo may cause some areas to be a little mushy but it still tastes amazing!

Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Chicken     Baked and Roasted     Oven Fried

Time 1h

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups cheese flavored crackers (such as Cheez-It®), crushed
1 cup French-fried onions, crushed
½ cup Italian bread crumbs
2 teaspoons sesame seed, toasted
salt and ground black pepper to taste
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut in half
3 tablespoons mayonnaise

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Mix cheese-flavored crackers, French-fried onions, Italian bread crumbs, sesame seeds, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
  • Wash and pat chicken breasts dry. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each piece and place mayonnaise-side down in the cracker mixture. Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the other side of the chicken and cover with the cracker mixture, patting firmly into the chicken. Place chicken breasts on the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining cracker mixture on top; lightly spray the chicken with cooking spray.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, 35 to 40 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken pieces: For this recipe, bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs or drumsticks work best. They stay juicy and flavorful during baking.
  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade helps infuse the chicken with flavor and keeps it moist. Be sure to let the chicken marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • Coat the chicken in a crispy breading: The breading helps create a crispy crust on the chicken. Use a mixture of flour, cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature: This helps create a crispy crust and juicy interior. Bake the chicken at 425°F for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken with your favorite sides: Oven-fried chicken pairs well with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, coleslaw, or corn on the cob.
