My good friend Caroline Bournos Diaco, shared her family's favorite chicken recipe with me - -it's a breeze and sounds like a simply perfect way to enjoy some good dark meat.
Take thighs and drumsticks, remove the skin, and soak in salted water for 2 hours. (Don't be stingy with the salt -- the chicken absorbs very little of it in terms of taste, but it does WONDERS for tenderizing the meat, especially if you're going to cook with the skin removed).
Remove from the water, and pat dry with paper towels. Then dip it in an egg wash (2 beaten eggs and 1/3 cup of milk) and dredge thoroughly in Italian seasoned bread crumbs (you could even add some extra parmigiana cheese to the crumbs for added flavor).
Drizzle a thin layer of olive oil on a cookie sheet, place the chicken on it, and drizzle the top with a bit of olive oil. Bake at 400 degrees for 40 minutes, flip the chicken, and bake for 30 more. It comes out crispy, juicy and delicious.
