This makes a very flavorful chicken. This recipe was originally used for chicken wing drumettes, which are addictive, but has become quite popular with chicken legs, thighs, and breasts. I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

Time 3h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

½ cup soy sauce
½ cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons minced garlic
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 whole chicken, cut into pieces
cooking spray
1 cup wheat germ
½ cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
¼ cup sesame seeds
¼ cup dried parsley
¾ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon paprika

Steps:

  • Whisk together the soy sauce, sherry, garlic, brown sugar, and ginger in a bowl; pour into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, coat with the marinade, squeeze out excess air, and seal the bag. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking rack with cooking spray, and place on a baking sheet.
  • Remove the chicken from the marinade, and shake off excess. Discard the remaining marinade.
  • Mix the wheat germ, bread crumbs, sesame seeds, parsley, black pepper, and paprika together in a separate large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken to the bag and shake to coat the pieces with the bread crumb mixture; transfer the coated chicken pieces to the prepared baking rack.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C).
