How to Make Baked Crumbed Chicken

1. Preheat oven to 220°C (425°F).
2. Wash and thoroughly pat 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
3. In a large clear plastic bag, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 2 tablespoons paprika, 1 tablespoon peri-peri seasoning, and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Shake to combine.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 1/4 cup milk.
5. In a pestle and mortar, pound 4 cloves garlic and 1 teaspoon salt until finely minced.
6. Rub the garlic-salt mixture evenly over all sides of the chicken breasts.
7. Dip each chicken breast in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Then, place in the plastic bag with the flour mixture and shake until evenly coated.
8. Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a greased oven-proof baking dish, skin-side up (if using skin-on chicken).
9. Melt 1/4 cup butter and 1/4 cup margarine. Pour evenly over the chicken pieces.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 40-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 74°C/165°F) and the crust is golden brown.
