Crunchy Chicken Recipe with Sesam

Ingredients: 

• 1 kg (2 pounds) chicken wings or drumsticks
• Salt and pepper
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 cup fresh or panko breadcrumbs
• ½ cup sesame seeds

Optional:

• Thai sweet chilli sauce
• Cajun seasoning

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 200C (390F). Line a large baking tray with baking paper.
2. Wash chicken and pat dry. Rub all over with a little salt.
3. Place the beaten egg in a shallow dish. On another plate, mix the breadcrumbs with the sesame seeds and some salt and pepper to taste.
4. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg, drain off excess, and coat it well with the breadcumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs in firmly so that they stick properly. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.
5. Arrange the chicken on the baking tray and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, turning halfway while cooking, until chicken is golden brown and cooked. Transfer to a serving plate and enjoy while hot and crunchy!

Optional:

1. When the chicken is cooked, brush some sweet chilli sauce all over the chicken and bake again for 2 minutes until caramelized.
2. For a spicy twist, omit the salt in the breadcrumb mixture and substitute with 1 tbsp cajun seasoning instead, and a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat.
