Crispy BBQ Chicken Baked Not Fried

                                 BBQ Chicken 

Craving crispy BBQ chicken without deep-frying? This baked version is just what you need! Start by preheating your oven to 220°C (425°F). Take chicken drumsticks or thighs and pat them dry. In a bowl, mix paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of cayenne. Rub this spice mix onto the chicken for a flavorful base.

Coat each piece lightly in flour, then dip in whisked eggs, and finally roll in crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs for that signature crunch. Place the chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet for even air circulation.

Bake for 35–40 minutes until golden and crispy. In the final 10 minutes, brush with your favorite BBQ sauce and return to the oven. The result? Juicy, crispy BBQ chicken with no oil splatter! Serve with a side of coleslaw or roasted veggies. Perfect for weeknight dinners!
