Enjoy a delicious twist on a classic with this crispy Creole baked chicken recipe, perfect for a flavorful and easy dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and optimal crispiness.
Remove the skin from the chicken pieces and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Removing the skin reduces fat content and allows the coating to adhere better.
Brush the chicken pieces with plain yogurt, ensuring an even coating.
Yogurt acts as a tenderizer and helps the coating stick.
In a mixing bowl, combine onion powder, garlic powder, salt, cayenne pepper, thyme, and panko breadcrumbs.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
Press each yogurt-coated chicken piece into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a thorough coating.
Press firmly to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Spraying with cooking spray helps achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Bake the chicken on the bottom rack of the oven for 40 minutes, turning halfway through for even cooking.
Turning the chicken ensures even browning on all sides.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Resting allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist.
Serve the crispy Creole baked chicken with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Pair with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal.
