Method
1
Preheat oven to 375°F. Crush the oat circles into coarse crumbs until reduced to approximately 1½ cups, then spread on a plate for coating.
2
Combine the beaten egg, orange juice, and orange peel in a shallow bowl and stir until well blended.
3
Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, which helps the coating adhere better.
4
Dip each chicken piece into the egg-orange mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides.
5
Roll the egg-coated chicken in the crushed oat circles, pressing gently so the coating adheres, and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
6
Drizzle the melted margarine or butter evenly over all the coated chicken pieces.
7
Bake in the preheated 375°F oven for 30-35 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the thickest piece reaches 165°F.
