Almond-Crusted Catalan Chicken


National Chicken Council

Ingredients:
  • 1 cut-up broiler-fryer chicken, skinned
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated orange peel
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon, divided
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper, divided
  • 1 cup fine dry plain breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup sliced almonds
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:
In large mixing bowl, make marinade by mixing together mayonnaise, garlic, orange juice, orange peel, honey, 1/8 teaspoon of the cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt and 1/4 teaspoon of the pepper. Add chicken, turning to coat. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour, occasionally spooning marinade over chicken. In pie pan, mix together remaining 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, breadcrumbs, almonds and olive oil. Bake, stirring occasionally, in 350F. oven about 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove chicken from marinade and roll, one piece at a time, in breadcrumb mixture. Place chicken in single layer in lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake in 350F. oven about 1 hour or until crisp and brown and fork can be inserted in chicken with ease.

Makes 6 servings.
