Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups French's crispy fried onions
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 as needed Cooking spray or oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the French's crispy fried onions in a resealable plastic bag. Seal the bag and crush the onions with a rolling pin or your hands until they resemble coarse crumbs. Transfer the crushed onions to a shallow bowl.
In another shallow bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well.
In a third shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth and well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Dredge each piece of chicken in the seasoned flour to coat evenly, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, and allow any excess to drip off.
Press the egg-coated chicken into the crushed onions, pressing gently to ensure the onions adhere to the surface. Turn the chicken to coat both sides evenly.
Place the prepared chicken breasts on the lined or greased baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Spray the top of the coated chicken lightly with cooking spray (if desired) to enhance crispiness and browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your French's Crunchy Onion Chicken with your favorite sides!
