Ingredients:

4 lbs skinless chicken parts
Kosher salt and white pepper
2 eggs
1 TBS brown mustard
1/2 tsp paprika
3/4 tsp dry thyme

1/2 tsp rubbed sage
pinch cayenne
1 box Melba Toast
1 cup flour
vegetable oil in an oil mister

Cooking Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Sprinkle chicken parts with salt and pepper. Beat eggs with paprika, thyme, cayenne, 1/2 tsp Kosher salt, 1/4 tsp white pepper, and mustard (choose your favorite -- Brown, Dijon, Pommery, Honey, Beer, etc).

Using a food processor or a rolling pin, crush Melba toast finely and place on a flat bowl. Pour flour in a separate flat bowl.

Set up an assembly line in this order: Chicken, flour, egg mixture, crushed Melba Toast and a parchment lined flat baking pan (Jelly Roll pan preferred). Using one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet, roll seasoned chicken pieces in flour, dip in egg, roll in Melba toast and lay on baking pan.

Mist chicken pieces with canola or olive oil and roast in the top of a 400 degree oven until legs reach 180 degrees and breasts 160 degrees, about 35 minutes -- do not overcook! A convection fan can be used for additional browning. Rest 5 minutes and serve with mixed steamed vegetables and couscous or rice.
