Crispy Baked Ostrich Leg Recipe:

Ingredients:

1 large ostrich leg (thawed if frozen)
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to your spice preference)
Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking oil spray or olive oil
Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Place a wire rack over a baking sheet and lightly grease the rack with cooking oil spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs. In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Pat the ostrich leg dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This step is essential for a crispy crust.

Dredge the ostrich leg in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it's evenly coated. Finally, press the leg into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a thick, even coating on all sides.

Place the breaded ostrich leg on the prepared wire rack over the baking sheet.

Spray the breaded ostrich leg lightly with cooking oil spray or drizzle with a little olive oil. This will help promote crispiness during baking.

Bake the ostrich leg in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the crust becomes golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 130-140°F (55-60°C) for medium-rare or 145-150°F (63-66°C) for medium doneness. Keep in mind that ostrich meat cooks quickly and can become tough if overcooked, so be vigilant about monitoring the internal temperature.

Once done, remove the ostrich leg from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Serve your crispy baked ostrich leg with your subscribers' favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. This recipe should provide a flavorful and tender ostrich leg with a crispy crust that will surely impress your audience! Enjoy!
