Crispy Yogurt Chicken


It's hard to find a good recipe for crispy baked chicken.  Usually chicken won't get truly crispy unless it's fried.  Well this recipe is a winner... Moist, delicious, crispy baked chicken!


Ingredients:  Greek yogurt, Hidden Valley dip seasoning (any flavor - I chose dill), garlic, parsley, lemon juice, chicken legs or thighs, panko bread crumbs and butter.


Start by mixing the yogurt with the Hidden Valley dip mix.  This part is optional, but I feel like it gives the recipe some extra zing ;)


Toss in some minced garlic, minced parsley and fresh lemon juice.


And mix it all together.


Spread the panko bread crumbs out on a plate and season lightly with salt.


Rinse the chicken legs and pat them dry.


Coat the chicken in the yogurt mixture.


And roll it in the panko until all sides are coated.


Place the chicken in a buttered baking dish and top each piece with a pat of butter.


Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for one hour.  Remove the foil and broil for about 5 minutes or so until the bread crumbs brown.


The yogurt keeps the chicken really moist and gives it incredible flavor and the panko is perfectly crispy.  This is fantastic, crispy baked chicken!
