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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Step 2
Place the Bamba snacks in a food processor and pulse until they are crushed into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow bowl.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs. In a third bowl, combine the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. Brush each piece lightly with honey to help the coating stick.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken thighs on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil to ensure a crispy coating.
Step 7
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).
Step 8
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.
