Picnic Chicken
I made this well-seasoned chicken for dinner one night and served it hot from the oven. While raiding the fridge the next day, I discovered how delicious it was cold and created the yogurt dip to go with it.
Prep: 20 minutes
Bake: 1 hour + chilling
3 eggs
3 tbsp. water
1 1/2 c. dry bread crumbs
2 tsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ea. dried marjoram, thyme, and rosemary, crushed
1/2 tsp. pepper
1 c. butter, melted
12 chicken drumsticks
12 chicken thighs
Creamy Leek Dip:
1 c. heavy whipping cream
1 1/2 c. plain yogurt
1 envelope leek soup mix
1 c. (4 oz.) shredded Colby cheese
In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs and water. In another shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs and seasonings. Divide the butter between 2 13×9x2″ baking dishes.
Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture, then coat with crumb mixture. Place in prepared pans. Bake, uncovered, at 375 degree F. for 1 hour or until juices run clear, turning once. Cool for 30 minutes; refrigerate until chilled.
For the dip, in a small mixing bowl, beat cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, combine the yogurt, soup mix and cheese; fold in whipped cream. Cover and refrigerate until serving. Serve with cold chicken. Yield: 24 servings (4 c. dip.)
