Prepare to be amazed by the simplicity and depth of flavor in this recipe. We start with a base of fine fresh white bread crumbs, adding a dash of cayenne for a customizable kick. The star of the show, however, is the combination of chipotle chilies in adobo and mayonnaise, which creates a smoky, spicy marinade that penetrates every piece of chicken. The chicken, a mix of drumsticks and wings, is first coated in this delectable blend, then generously covered in our seasoned breadcrumb mixture.
The cooking process is where the magic happens. First, we oven-fry the chicken on oiled racks to achieve a crispy exterior without the need for deep frying. After a brief stint at 425 °F, we lower the heat to ensure the chicken is cooked through to the bone. The result? A golden, crispy exterior that yields to the tender, spicy flesh within.
