Prepare the Marinade:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the boneless chicken pieces with Del Monte Tandoori Mayo, grated cheddar cheese, lightly beaten egg white, chopped green chilies, finely chopped coriander leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper powder. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly to coat the chicken evenly. -
Marinate the Chicken:
Once the chicken is well coated, cover the bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate it for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This step ensures that the chicken absorbs the flavors of the marinade for a more delicious result. -
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it is at the right temperature when you are ready to bake the chicken. -
Prepare the Baking Tray:
Grease a baking tray with a little extra virgin olive oil or butter to prevent the chicken from sticking. This step also helps in achieving a golden, crisp texture as the chicken bakes. -
Coat the Chicken:
After the marinating time, take the chicken out of the refrigerator. Gently coat each chicken piece with crushed cornflakes, ensuring that the entire surface of the chicken is covered with a crispy layer. -
Bake the Chicken:
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking tray, making sure to leave a little space between each piece to allow the heat to circulate and cook the chicken evenly. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken turns golden brown and the cornflakes crust becomes crisp and crunchy. -
Rest and Serve:
Once the chicken is perfectly baked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This will help the juices settle, ensuring a juicy and tender bite. Serve your Crisp Baked Tandoori Mayo Cheddar Chicken as an appetizer or snack with a side of Spicy Mexican Salsa for an added kick.
Serving Suggestions:
Serve this delightful chicken with a tangy, spicy salsa or a cooling dip like mint yogurt for extra flavor. It’s perfect as a party snack, an appetizer for gatherings, or even as a fun addition to a weeknight dinner with family. The crispy exterior paired with the juicy, flavorful chicken inside is sure to impress!
Enjoy your Crisp Baked Tandoori Mayo Cheddar Chicken and indulge in the delicious combination of spices, cheese, and crunch in every bite!
