Categories: chicken

Ingredients

• 12 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs or drumsticks
• 1 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
• Salt and coarse ground pepper
• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 Tbsp. lemon juice
• 1 1/2 Tbsp. hot pepper sauce, such as Tabasco
• 1 Tbsp. prepared horseradish
• 1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp. cayenne pepper
• 2 cups dried bread crumbs
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
• 1 tsp. smoked paprika

Directions

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Set out a large nonstick rimmed baking sheet or line a regular rimmed baking sheet with either a silicone liner or parchment paper.
2. Rinse chicken and then pat very dry. Combine garlic powder with salt and pepper in a small bowl. Using your fingertips, generously season both sides of each piece with the garlic powder mixture and place seasoned chicken in a large bowl.
3. Blend mayonnaise, mustard, lemon juice, hot pepper sauce, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne in a medium mixing bowl. Pour over chicken and toss to coat well.
4. Combine bread crumbs with parsley and smoked paprika in a large bowl. Working with one piece of chicken at a time, roll in bread crumb mixture, taking care to coat completely. As coated, place in single layer on prepared baking sheet.
5. Bake chicken 35 minutes or until juices run clear and exterior is golden and crisp. Serve immediately.
