CRISPY BAKED BARBECUED CHICKEN



Crispy Baked Barbecued Chicken image

I love this seasoning mix and sometimes double it to get more crunch. It came from Better Homes & Gardens Cookbook with only two slight adaptations. I usually have to dry slices of bread in my oven & send them through the food processor to crumb, but I usually have all of these ingredients on hand.

Time 30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 slices sourdough bread
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup ketchup
3 tablespoons whole grain mustard
4 tablespoons honey

Dill pickle spears, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and bake until the bread is crispy and the mayonnaise is starting to bubble up and turn a light golden brown, about 11 minutes.
