Rosemary & Sage Breaded Chicken

Rosemary & Sage Breaded Chicken

It is Sunday and I don’t feel up to a complicated meal. The oven is apt for this simple and delicious recipe. The prep time will depend on how much work you intend to do in the day itself. I prefer to marinate and prep the bread crumbs the day or night before so that I am free to laze about and enjoy my day. 

The recipe is as follows:

The Ingredients:

CHICKEN

2kg Chicken Thighs 

165ml Buttermilk (I put 15ml of apple cider into 150ml of milk and let it sit for 15 minutes)

BREADCRUMBS 

6 Slices of Brown Bread

2 Tbsps of Fresh Rosemary 

1 Tbsp of Fresh Sage

1 Tbsp of Garlic Powder 

1 Tbsp of Salt

Instructions:

1. Marinate the chicken thighs in the buttermilk overnight.

2. Blend the breadcrumbs, rosemary, sage, garlic and salt to a fine crumb. Store in a container until the next day.

3. Remove the marinated chicken thighs and let them come to room temperature before handling them.

4. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

5. Remove the chicken thighs from the marinade and coat in the breadcrumbs.

6. Place the chicken thighs on a large tray and bake until golden brown and a clear liquid comes out when you cut into the chicken.

7. Bon Appétit ! 😋
