?There is no one definitive recipe for Higgy's Oven-Crisp Chicken. However, many recipes for this dish include marinating the chicken in a mixture of garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and sesame oil before coating it in a breadcrumb-and-flour mixture and baking it until crisp.
1. Rinse chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Trim off any excess fat.
2. In a large flat dish, combine yogurt, garlic and Tabasco. Lay chicken in mixture, coating well. Marinate for 1 hour at room temperature.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, cornmeal, paprika, salt, and black and red pepper. Roll the chicken pieces in the breading mixture, covering all sides.
4. In a large roaster, generously oiled (with 1 1/2 tablespoons excess in bottom) place the chicken, meat side down.
5. Bake at 425 degrees to 450 degrees for 35 minutes. Turn carefully with spatula (so you don't lose the crust) after 20 minutes.
6. Serve hot or room temperature.
