Prepare the coating mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken pieces dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. This helps the coating stick better.
Coat the chicken: Dip each piece of chicken into the flour mixture, making sure it’s fully coated on all sides.
Drizzle with oil: Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil or melted butter over the top of each chicken piece to ensure a crispy finish.
Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the chicken for 35-45 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute. Enjoy your healthier, crispy fried chicken!
