Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
– ½ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese
– 1 lemon (zested and juiced)
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil for frying
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your own Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the chicken once it’s fried.
2. Prepare the Breading Station: Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; another with beaten eggs; and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with grated Pecorino cheese.
3. Coat the Chicken: Start by dredging each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg, allowing any excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about ¼ inch of olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.
5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully place the breaded chicken thighs in the hot oil, skin side down. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer to Baking Sheet: Once fried, transfer the chicken to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
8. Prepare Lemon Sauce: While the chicken bakes, combine the lemon juice and zest in a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
9. Garnish: Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle the lemon sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
10. Serve Immediately: Serve your Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor hot, enjoying the wonderful aromas and flavors.

These steps will guide you through the process of creating this incredible dish, ensuring that every bite is packed with flavor and satisfaction.
