This recipe offers a flavorful and crispy baked chicken dish, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy texture.
In a mixing bowl, combine the chili powder, garlic powder, dry mustard, and black pepper.
Mixing the spices thoroughly ensures an even distribution of flavor.
In another bowl, pour the milk.
Using whole milk adds richness to the coating.
Place the breadcrumbs in a plastic bag.
Using a plastic bag makes coating the chicken easier and less messy.
Dip each chicken piece into the milk, then place it in the bag with breadcrumbs. Shake to coat evenly.
Ensure the chicken is fully coated for maximum crispiness.
Place the coated chicken pieces in a baking dish.
Use a baking dish large enough to avoid overcrowding, allowing even cooking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 50 minutes or until the juices run clear.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added color and flavor.
