Oven-fried chicken pieces

Ingredients:

• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp. honey
• 1 tbsp hot sauce
• 2.5 tbsp. panko breadcrumbs
• 2 teaspoons of salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• 1 chicken weighing 1.3 kg, cut into 8 pieces, skin removed

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 200°C. Place a rack on a baking sheet and spray with cooking spray.
2. In a pie dish or shallow bowl, combine eggs, mustard, honey, hot sauce, salt and black pepper to taste.
3. In another similar container, add breadcrumbs, salt and black pepper to taste, paprika, cayenne pepper and garlic powder and stir to distribute evenly.
4. Dip the chicken in the liquid mixture, then in the flour mixture, patting the breading to adhere. Arrange the chicken pieces on a wire rack on a baking sheet, spacing them apart. Spray the chicken with cooking spray for better browning and crispiness.
5. Place on the top rack of the oven and roast until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, about 45 minutes. The internal temperature of the thickest part of the chicken should read 165°F (71°C) on a meat thermometer. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.
