The Martin Family Recipes

2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 tsp paprika
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
2 tsp salt
1 3 – 3.5# chicken, jointed or 3.5# chicken pieces
3 Tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and line a large baking tray with non-stick baking paper. Combine all the ingredients except the chicken and butter in a large bowl. Brush the chicken pieces with butter, then dip into the crumb mixture. Press the crumbs firmly to the chicken.

Arrange the crumbed chicken on the prepared tray. Bake for 20 minutes, then turn the chicken over and bake for a further 10 minutes (a little longer may be needed for big chicken pieces). The crumbs should be golden brown and the chicken cooked through.
