Breaded Chicken Legs Food

PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken legs and pat dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish or plastic bag, combine the sake, 1/4 cup soy sauce, oil, ginger, garlic, and half the scallions. Add the chicken legs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet with peanut oil. Place panko bread crumbs in a large plastic or paper bag, season with salt and pepper, and shake well to combine. Take 2 or 3 chicken legs at a time from the marinade and shake them in the seasoned bread crumbs until well coated. Place the breaded chicken legs on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the pieces over, and bake for 15 minutes more or until cooked through. Remove chicken to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the sauce by whisking hoisin, chili sauce, vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce together. Place chicken legs in a single layer on a platter, drizzle with sauce and scatter over the crushed peanuts and remaining scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SIMPLE BREADED CHICKEN DRUMSTICKS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees with a rack in the middle of your oven.
• In an oven dish (I use a glass pie plate for sticking purposes) place the oil and allow it to coat the entire bottom.
• If you have not already done so, remove the skin from the drumsticks. If you find it difficult to pull the skin off the chicken, use a paper-towel to grip the skin to pull it off.
• On one plate, crack both eggs and whisk them into one uniformed egg wash.
• On a second plate, place the two cups of breadcrumbs; spread them out evenly.
• Begin by rolling one piece of chicken in the egg mixture. Make sure the chicken is covered completely and evenly.
• Take the chicken and roll it in the breadcrumbs. With drumsticks, I find it beneficial to dip the top of the drumstick chicken into the mixture as well as drizzle breadcrumbs in the area of the chicken near the bone since those two areas often do not touch the breadcrumb plate.
• Place chicken into dish, meaty side down.
• Repeat coating process for all the chicken.
• Place dish in oven and allow to cook for about 45 minutes. Rotate each piece of chicken at this point to allow it crisp throughout.
• About 50 minutes to an hour in, the chicken will appear to fall off the bone. The chicken should be done at this point but make sure to check it with a meat thermometer to confirm. In the meaty section of the chicken (should be up at this point) the temperature should reach at least 165 degrees F.
• Chicken's done!
