Cooking

Notes
Make sure the chicken is dry before coating it to help the breadcrumbs stick better. Experiment with different herbs and spices for varied flavors. For extra crunch, consider adding some grated Parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture. If you have leftovers, let the chicken cool completely and place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, use a low oven temperature to retain crispiness. You can also freeze the cooked chicken in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 2 months.
