Ingredients:

For chicken:
3 pounds assorted drumsticks and thigh pieces
3 eggs, beaten
1 cup flour
1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
½ cup olive oil

For glaze:
3 Tablespoons Sun Tropics® Calamansi Lime Nectar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350° F. While oven preheating, prepare rice according to package directions.
  2. Place flour, eggs, and bread crumbs in three separate shallow bowls.
  3. Pour oil into a large baking dish. Dredge chicken piece by piece in flour, then the eggs and follow with bread crumbs. Repeat process until all pieces are breaded. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes on each side.
  4. While the chicken bakes, mix Calamansi Lime Nectar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl. Set aside.
