Tips & Notes:

  • Let the chicken rest after baking so that the juices redistribute and the residual heat finishes off the chicken.
  • Get organized before you start the dipping. Have your three bowls of flour, egg, and the crust mixture laid out to make your assembly line run smoothly.
  • Taste the coating mixture before applying it to the chicken to make sure you approve of the flavor balance. Change accordingly.
