For an extra crispy coating, consider lightly toasting the wheat germ and sesame seeds before mixing them with the other dry ingredients. If you prefer a sweeter flavor, you can add an additional tablespoon of brown sugar to the marinade. Ensure the chicken is fully cooked to avoid any health risks. The internal temperature is the best indicator of doneness.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, dry sherry, minced garlic, brown sugar, and ground ginger until well combined. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPour the mixture into a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken pieces, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated in the marinade. Squeeze out any excess air, and seal the bag tightly. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
03
StepMarinate the chicken in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the meat. (Marination time: 2+ hours)
04
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking rack with cooking spray to prevent sticking, and place it on a baking sheet. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
05
StepRemove the chicken pieces from the marinade, allowing any excess to drip off. Discard the remaining marinade to avoid contamination. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
06
StepIn a separate large resealable plastic bag, combine the wheat germ, Italian seasoned bread crumbs, sesame seeds, dried parsley, ground black pepper, and paprika. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
07
StepAdd the marinated chicken pieces to the bag with the bread crumb mixture. Seal the bag and shake vigorously until each piece is uniformly coated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
08
StepTransfer the coated chicken pieces to the prepared baking rack, ensuring they are spaced evenly to promote even cooking. (Prep time: 3 minutes)
09
StepBake in the preheated oven until the chicken is cooked through, and the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. This should take approximately 1 hour. Use an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of a thigh, not touching bone, should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). (Baking time: ~1 hour)
