Method
-
step 1
Toss the breadcrumbs with the paprika, garlic salt and oregano and put in a shallow bowl. Put the flour and eggs in 2 more separate bowls.
-
step 2
Dust the thighs in the flour, then egg, then spiced breadcrumbs. Repeat with the rest.
-
step 3
Transfer the chicken to a small tray lined with baking paper. Freeze uncovered, then cover with clingfilm and freeze until needed.
-
step 4
To defrost, unwrap the chicken, sit on a rack over a roasting tin and leave overnight in the fridge to defrost.
-
step 5
To cook, heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Leave the chicken on the rack so heat can travel underneath. Give each thigh a spray of oil then bake for 45-50 minutes until crisp, golden and cooked through.
