Be careful when working with raw chicken to avoid cross-contamination. Make sure the chicken is cooked through before serving. And most importantly, resist the urge to devour the chicken before it's ready!

1

Prepare the pretzel coating

Crush pretzels in a resealable bag until they're in small pieces. You can use a rolling pin or let out your frustrations and crush them with a meat mallet. Just don't picture anyone's face while you do it. Place the crushed pretzels in a shallow bowl and mix in your favorite seasonings. We recommend a sprinkle of garlic powder, a dash of paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stay away from using actual chicken seasoning, you don't want to confuse the chicken!

2

Dip and coat the chicken

In a separate bowl, beat an egg. Dip each piece of chicken in the egg, letting any excess drip off. Now comes the fun part: roll each chicken piece in the pretzel coating, making sure it's fully covered. Pretend you're giving each chicken piece a cozy, crunchy blanket. Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. It's like a chicken slumber party, but with pretzels!

Get your bake on

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the pretzel-crusted chicken for around 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Take a moment to savor the aroma wafting from your oven. It's the smell of victory, my friend.

Time to indulge
