Ingredients
•

1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs

•
1/2 cup white sugar
•
1/2 cup lemon juice

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Stir paprika, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Beat eggs in another bowl. Place bread crumbs in a third bowl.

Sprinkle seasoning over chicken pieces. Dip pieces in beaten egg, then dredge in bread crumbs. Arrange chicken pieces in a single layer on the prepared pan.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, turning halfway through.
