Crispy Garlic Mayo Baked Chicken Recipe Is Genius (4 Ingredients) Budget Recipes Chicken Recipes Dinner Low Sugar Recipes High Protein Recipes Low Carb Recipes

A butterflied chicken recipe was the inspiration for these crispy chicken legs. If mayonnaise can make a whole butterflied chicken moist, imagine what it can do for bone-in chicken parts. This crispy panko-crusted baked chicken recipe was a success! Juicy, moist and super crispy on the outside. It was a dinner homerun.

Here is your shopping list for this high-protein oven-fried chicken dinner: bone-in chicken (read about the health benefits of protein), mayonnaise, garlic powder and panko breadcrumbs. Garlic powder was my seasoning of choice, but you could use whatever seasoning you enjoy. Smoked paprika, seasoned salt, dried herbs or even Indian seasonings would work.

Serve this crunchy panko-crusted baked chicken as a budget-friendly high-protein dinner with your favorite side dishes.

Fun Fact: While most of us think of mayonnaise as an American food, it originated in Europe. Many believe mayonnaise was invented in 1756 in France by a French chef. The Spanish, however, claim they invented the sauce and the French stole it. I'm staying out of that one!

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 40 minutes
Total Time: 40 to 50 minutes
Servings: 1

Ingredients

• 4 - 6 bone-in chicken thighs or legs
• 4 - 6 tablespoons mayonnaise (about 1 tablespoon per piece of chicken)
• garlic powder, to taste
• 1/3 cup panko breadcrumbs (I used about 1/3 cup for five chicken legs)

Here's how to make it:

1. Put the mayonnaise into a small bowl and the panko into another small bowl. Season the chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder, to taste. (You could add some onion powder to the recipe, too, for more flavor. For color, add some parsley flakes.)
2. If using chicken legs, liberally rub mayonnaise all over the leg, then coat completely with the panko. Put into an ovenproof skillet or baking pan. If using thighs, you can put them into the baking pan and rub about 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise over the top of each, then liberally sprinkle with the panko.
3. Bake in a preheated 375-degree F oven for about 30 to 40 minutes or until chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Internal temperature should register 165 degrees F for chicken to be safe to eat.
4. Serve with your favorite side dishes.
