Description

Delightful crispy chicken thighs served on warm focaccia bread topped with rich romesco sauce.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 chicken thighs, skin-on
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 focaccia bread
  • 1 cup romesco sauce
  • Olive oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the chicken by seasoning them with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up a breading station with flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs.
  4. Bread the chicken thighs by dredging them in flour, dipping in eggs, and rolling in breadcrumbs.
  5. Fry the chicken in a skillet with heated olive oil for 5-7 minutes per side.
  6. Bake the fried chicken on a baking sheet for 15-20 minutes to ensure thorough cooking.
  7. Warm the focaccia bread in the oven.
  8. Assemble the dish by placing a chicken thigh on focaccia, drizzling with romesco sauce, and garnishing with parsley.

Notes

Allowing the chicken to rest after frying helps keep it juicy. For a spicier version, add cayenne pepper to the romesco sauce.
