Chicken Ingredients- Chicken pieces (thigh or drumettes) – about 3 pieces
- Curry powder – 1 Tbsp
- All-purpose flour – 2 Tbsp
- Breadcrumbs – 1.5 Tbsp
- Milk – a splash (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, we’ll remove any gamey odor from the chicken and tenderize the meat. Soaking the chicken pieces in cold water for about 10 minutes, or marinating them in a splash of milk for 10 minutes, is effective in removing any unwanted smells. (This step is optional, but it significantly enhances the clean flavor of the chicken.)
Step 2
Next, let’s prepare the coating. In a clean plastic bag, combine 1.5 Tbsp of breadcrumbs, 2 Tbsp of all-purpose flour, and 1 Tbsp of curry powder. Shake the bag well to mix the ingredients thoroughly. If you’re new to curry powder, feel free to adjust the amount or omit it altogether.
Step 3
After patting the chicken pieces dry, place them into the plastic bag with the seasoned coating mixture. Seal the bag and shake it gently so that the coating evenly covers the chicken pieces without being too thick. A good coating ensures a crispier finish.
Step 4
Finally, arrange the coated chicken pieces on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high power for approximately 7 minutes. Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your microwave’s wattage, so it’s a good idea to check for doneness halfway through. Once the chicken is cooked through, your delicious microwave chicken is ready to enjoy!
