Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs
• 4 pieces chicken drumsticks
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 2 cups breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 bananas
• 2 cloves
• 2 tablespoons Italian parsley
• 4 lemon wedges

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Step 2

Pat the chicken thighs and drumsticks dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 4

In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until well combined.

Step 5

Place the breadcrumbs in a third bowl.

Step 6

Dredge each piece of chicken first in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.

Step 7

In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and begins to bubble.

Step 8

Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.

Step 9

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and juices run clear. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be achieved.

Step 10

While the chicken is baking, peel and slice the bananas diagonally into 1/2 inch pieces.

Step 11

In a small saucepan, add the clove sticks and sliced bananas. Cook over low heat, gently stirring for about 2-3 minutes until the bananas are warmed through and fragrant. Remove and discard the cloves.

Step 12

Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley and a wedge of lemon on the side. Arrange the sauteed bananas alongside the chicken for a sweet, complementary flavor.
