Crispy Oven-Fried Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups panko breadcrumbs (japanese-style breadcrumbs)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 whole chicken (broken down into 10 pieces, halving the breasts)
4 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

Preheat oven to 450\u00b0F.
Season Panko breadcrumbs generously with salt and pepper (around 2 teaspoons each).
Add paprika to seasoned crumbs.
Pat chicken dry and brush generously with butter.
Press chicken into breadcrumbs and thoroughly coat on all sides.
Place chicken skin-side-up on a shallow baking pan (I use a baking sheet).
Bake for 30-40 minutes until nicely browned and cooked through (at 30 minutes, poke thickest piece of meat with a fork if juices run clear and not pink it's done. If not, check in 10 minute intervals until cooked).
Let sit 5-10 minutes before serving so juices can set.
