I made this tonight, from a W/S recipe I got off their website. Very good, will be making this again! Nice and crispy, and pretty good flavor. Will proabbly add a little cayenne next time, though, about 1/4 teaspoon, to up the flavor a bit. I served this with Barefoot Contessa Garlic Roasted Potatoes from "Parties!" and a garden salad. Here's the recipe, with my changes noted below.

Oven-Crisped Chicken

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 4 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Poultry

Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 teaspoon canola oil
1 cup panko
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
1/2 teaspoon paprika -- sweet
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper -- freshly ground
1 large egg white
1 pound skinless boneless chicken breasts -- cut with the grain into strips 3/4 inch wide
Canola-oil cooking spray

Remove the center rack from an oven and cover it with a sheet of aluminum foil, leaving 1 inch uncovered on all sides so that heat can freely circulate once the rack is returned to the oven. Brush the foil lightly with the canola oil and set the prepared rack aside. Preheat the oven to 450°F.

In a wide, shallow dish, stir together the panko, sesame seeds, paprika, onion powder, salt and pepper. In another dish, beat the egg white until foamy. Roll 1 piece of the chicken in the egg white; shake it lightly to release the excess. Then roll it in the seasoned panko, coating evenly and pressing with your fingers to help the mixture adhere. Place the chicken on a plate and repeat until all the chicken is coated.

One by one, coat the chicken on all sides with cooking spray and place the pieces in a single layer on the prepared oven rack. Slide the rack into the center of the oven. Bake the chicken until the coating on the bottom is light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Using tongs, turn the chicken over and continue to bake until the pieces are golden brown all over and the meat is opaque in the center, 10 to 12 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a platter and let rest for 10 to 15 minutes. The coating becomes crisper as it sits. Serve warm.

NOTES : Panko, coarse Japanese bread crumbs, give foods an extra-crunchy coating. They are bland, so sesame seeds and other seasonings provide a nice flavor boost here. Using aluminum foil placed directly on the oven rack, instead of a pan, helps the chicken brown better and cook through at the same time. The fine mist of cooking spray used to coat the chicken lets you make a great low-fat version of a fried favorite.

I used a foil-lined broiler pan instead of using their rack method, and it worked just fine. I sprayed all pieces once they were coated, turned them over, and then coated again. My cooking time was 10 minutes on one side, and then 8 minutes on the other.

Thanks, Dianne! I was just looking for something new to do with chicken and this looks perfect...I've got some panko to use up and DH loves oven-fried chicken, also loves spicy so will include your suggestion about the cayenne.

Love this BB!

Dianne,

Thanks for this one! My husband just hooked up the new stove...and since I've been "kitchenless" for almost 2 years (since May 2002, when we moved to South Fl:D )I'm looking for recipes to ease my way back into "really cooking" again:D

We've been eating the fried chicken from Publix for way too long:D

in waiting for it!
Dianne Sorry didn't mean to change the course of your thread, Gail has been so patient waiting for her kitchen and Pennsylvanians miss her!
I am printing out your recipe, sounds great! Thanks for your notes, always appreciate what others do to recipes.

Gail, good luck with your new kitchen; must be very exciting!

Lisa, I got my panko from KA, since I was ordering other stuff from there already. Also, I posted the recipe for the Barefoot Contessa Garlic Roasted Potatoes under the January Cookbook Challenge thread yesterday; you should be able to find it there.
