Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 celery stalks
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon celery salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 cup potato flakes (We used Betty Crocker Potato Buds)
- 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 4-5 pounds cut up chicken pieces, bone-in and skin-on
- Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- In a mini food processor (like this one), puree celery to almost a liquid. (Two stalks should yield about ½ cup pureed.) Pour into a large bowl and add mayonnaise, celery salt, pepper and melted butter. Whip to combine and set aside.
- In another large bowl, blend potato flakes, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt and paprika. Set aside.
- Line a sheet tray with foil and preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Rinse and pat dry chicken pieces. One at a time dip in the celery puree and mayonnaise mixture, then the potato flake mixture and set on prepared pan, skin side up. Discard any leftover coating.
- Lightly spray the tops of each piece with non-stick cooking spray, then bake for 35-40 minutes until golden browned and cooked through.
