Ingredients
- Chicken
-
3 pounds
chicken wings (or breasts, or thighs, or whatever. As long as it was attached to a chicken at some point, fry whatever you damn well please)
-
3 cups
apple jacks
-
1/2 cup
milk
-
1
egg
-
1 teaspoon
paprika
-
1/2 teaspoon
onion powder
-
1/2 teaspoon
garlic powder
-
1 dash
salt
-
1 dash
pepper
- Sauce
-
3 tablespoons
brown sugar
-
1/4 cup
soy sauce
-
1/2 cup
creamy peanut butter
-
3 tablespoons
sriracha
-
1 tablespoon
apple cider vinegar
Directions
-
Heat your oven to 375.
-
Take the apple jacks and put them in a giant plastic bag, then put that bag in another giant plastic bag.
-
Use a rolling pin and crush the apple jacks into small pieces, as small as you can get them.
-
Once that’s done, add your spices: paprika, onion and garlic powder, and a little salt and pepper.
-
Put all of that goodness in a nice, wide bowl.
-
Get yourself two more wide bowls. Add the flour to one and the milk and egg to the other, and make sure you whisk that egg up.
-
Grab your chicken parts and dip each of them in each of the bowls, starting with the flour first, then the milk/egg, and finally the apple jacks. You wanna make sure each part gets REALLY covered, so don’t be afraid to flop ‘em around a few times in each bowl to get them completely ready.
-
Once the chicken’s prepared, throw them on a baking sheet with some parchment paper on it and bake for 50 minutes.
-
While that’s in the oven, make your sauce by mixing together all the sauce ingredients in a bowl, then microwaving it for one minute. Give it another stir after it’s out of the microwave and you’re good to go.
-
All that’s left is to sauce up your chicken. Once it’s out of the oven, get yourself a basting brush (you know, the thing you use to brush on barbecue sauce at a barbecue) and baste the sauce on. Make sure you don’t get it TOO thick (like I did), otherwise the flavor in the sauce will overpower the rest of the flavors in there.
-
Note: I put way too much sauce in that picture up there. Use less.
