Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 28 minute

Ingredients

– 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon black pepper
– ½ cup grated Pecorino cheese
– 1 large lemon (zested and juiced)
– 2 large eggs
– ¼ cup milk
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
– Olive oil, for frying


Instructions

Creating Crispy Chicken With Lemon Pecorino Flavor is a straightforward process if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. This helps achieve a crispy skin.
3. Make the Coating: In a bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all spices are evenly distributed.
4. Whisk Eggs: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until combined.
5. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken thigh in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Then, dredge in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
6. Add Pecorino: Sprinkle the grated Pecorino cheese over the coated chicken thighs, pressing slightly to adhere.
7. Heat Oil: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat a generous amount of olive oil over medium-high heat.
8. Sear the Chicken: Once the oil is hot, place the chicken thighs skin-side down in the skillet. Sear for 5-7 minutes or until the skin is golden brown and crispy.
9. Flip and Bake: Carefully flip the chicken thighs over and transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
10. Add Lemon: When the chicken is nearly done, drizzle the lemon juice over the thighs and sprinkle with lemon zest for an added burst of flavor.
11. Garnish: Once out of the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
