Notes
🔥 Top Tips for French Fried Onion Ring Baked Chicken
-
Press the Coating Firmly:
After dredging the chicken, press the onion-breadcrumb mixture onto each piece with your hands to help it stick and form a thicker, crunchier crust. -
Use an Oven Rack:
Baking the chicken directly on an oven-safe rack allows heat to circulate around each piece, making the coating crispier without the need for flipping. -
Keep an Eye on Browning:
Check the chicken every 10–15 minutes during baking. If it starts getting too dark too quickly, reduce the oven temperature by 25–50°F to ensure even cooking without burning the crust.
