Ingredients

Chicken pieces bone in with skin

Nut Crumbs

Cooking Spray

This recipe is very simple, you don’t need to measure anything.  I typically use bone in chicken thighs with skin, but you can use any type of chicken you like.  Keep in mind the chicken skin will create that extra delicious crunch.  You want the chicken to be a little moist, not too watery because the crumbs will fall off.    

You can also use Nut Crumbs that are gluten free, Paleo, Vegan, Keto and Sugar free and tastes delicious.  If you want something that’s bread based, Progresso has a great Italian breadcrumbs seasoning.  You’ll follow the same process.

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.  Use an oven tray and spray it with cooking spray.  You want to cover it well with the cooking spray.  This will prevent the chicken from sticking to the tray.  I use aluminum foil so its easy to clean as well.  Either way, get a good coat of the cooking spray on the tray.  Take each piece of chicken one at a time and place it in a bowl pour some of the nut crumbs on one side, make sure the entire area is covered, turn the chicken around and cover the other side with crumbs and place it on the oven tray skin side up.  Repeat this with all of the chicken.  When you lift the chicken some of the crumbs will fall off.  Then add some extra crumbs to the top of each piece so that they are completely covered.  Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray.  Again, make sure the entire top of the chicken is covered with the spray, that’s what will add the extra crispiness.  Bake for 45 minutes.  Serve and enjoy!
