How to Make Bea's Breaded Chicken

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil over 1.5 lbs of chicken pieces (thighs, breasts, or a mix) and rub it into each piece, ensuring even coverage.
  3. In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the breading ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
  4. Add the oiled chicken pieces to the bag and seal it tightly. Shake vigorously until all chicken pieces are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange the breaded chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  7. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
