INGREDIENTS

1 3-pound chicken, cut into 8 pieces
1 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 7-ounce can chipotle peppers in adobo, pureed
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups panko bread crumbs
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano

PREPARATION

Combine chicken, milk, chipotle peppers and salt in sealable plastic bag; shake to combine. Refrigerate at least 1 hour or overnight.

Preheat oven to 400°F. In large mixing bowl combine panko crumbs, vegetable oil and oregano. Working with one piece at a time, remove chicken from the marinade; shake off the excess liquid. Toss in the bread crumbs until thoroughly coated.

Place chicken pieces on a rack in baking pan. Bake 30 minutes or until bread crumbs are browned and chicken is cooked through.
