- 1 tbsp Mustard
- 1 large Egg yolk
- ¼ tsp Garlic powder
- 1 tsp Paprika smoked hot or sweet
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- 1 tsp Italian herbs dried
- 4 tbsp (30 g) Flour
- 2 tbsp Parsley or cilantro finely chopped
Breadcrumb coating
- ½ cup (50 g) Breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (30 g) Panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup (85 g) Semolina
- ¼ cup (30 g) Cornstarch
- ¼ cup (40 g) Rice flour or cornstarch
- 2 tbsp Parsley or cilantro, finely chopped
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Pepper
- ½ tsp Italian herbs dried

Instructions
- Marinade - Place all the marinade ingredients in a large bowl and combine well.4 tbsp Greek yogurt, 1 tbsp Mustard, 1 large Egg yolk, ¼ tsp Garlic powder, 1 tsp Paprika, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1/2 tsp Pepper, 1 tsp Italian herbs, 4 tbsp Flour, 2 tbsp Parsley
- Marinate - Add the chicken pieces and combine well. Cover the bowl and leave to marinate for 30 minutes on the counter or up to 12 hours in the fridge. Pro tip - Long marination will make the chicken tender and juicy, but up to overnight only.8 Chicken legs (drumstick or thighs)
- Coating - In a large bowl, combine all the coating ingredients. Pro tip - The flour tends to settle at the bottom, so keep tossing it around during coating.½ cup Breadcrumbs, ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs, ½ cup Semolina, ¼ cup Cornstarch, ¼ cup Rice flour , 2 tbsp Parsley, ½ tsp Salt, ½ tsp Pepper, ½ tsp Italian herbs, 2 tbsp Parmesan, 2 tbsp Cheddar
- Oven - Preheat the oven to 200C/ 400F / Gas Mark 6. Line a baking tray with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spray the parchment paper with cooking spray. Pro tip - Spraying the parchment paper will prevent the chicken from sticking to the parchment during baking.
- Coat - Use a fork to pick the drumstick from the marinade and add it to the breadcrumb coating. Coat it generously with the breadcrumbs. Shake off the excess.
- Tray - Place the chicken pieces on the baking tray and spray generously with cooking spray.
- Bake - Transfer to the oven on the center rack and bake for 40 to 45 minutes, turning them over to cook evenly. Spray with cooking spray again, too. Pro tip - Spraying will give the chicken a nice golden color. Otherwise, they will be baked but with a very pale breadcrumb color.
- Cool - Remove the chicken from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
