Pecan Crusted Chicken With Raspberry Drizzle

12 ingredients
8 steps

Ingredients

  • 2 skinless chicken thighs, bone-in (not too small)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
  • fresh ground pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 6 tablespoons finely chopped pecans
  • 2 tablespoons dry unseasoned breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons seedless raspberry preserves
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 2 teaspoons honey

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. 2
    Mix flour, cayenne, 1/8 tsp salt and a few turns of the pepper mill in a shallow bowl.
  3. 3
    Mix egg and milk in another small bowl.
  4. 4
    Combine pecans and breadcrumbs and remaining salt on waxed paper or in a shallow dish.
  5. 5
    Pat thighs dry and dredge in flour mixture, then dip in egg mixture, then coat with pecan mixture on both sides, pressing in gently to help them adhere.
  6. 6
    Place on a shallow baking sheet and bake for 35 minutes or until chicken is done. Don't overcook or chicken will be dry.
  7. 7
    While chicken is cooking, in a small bowl combine raspberry preserves, mustard and honey, mixing well. Heat in microwave until hot. This can also be done in a small saucepan on the stove, but it's just as good in the microwave and you don't have to dirty another pan.
  8. 8
    Place chicken on plate and drizzle with raspberry sauce.
