Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs (bone-in, skin-on)
- 120 grams Bamba snacks (peanut-flavored puffs)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cup Flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Place the Bamba snacks in a food processor and pulse until they are crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Brush each piece lightly with honey to help the coating stick.
Dredge each chicken thigh in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the whisked eggs, then coat it evenly with the crushed Bamba crumbs.
Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to ensure a crispy coating.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with your favorite side dish or a fresh salad.
