Tips for

Use panko breadcrumbs : they’re lighter and crunchier than regular breadcrumbs.

Double coat for extra crispiness : dip the chicken back in egg and breadcrumbs for a thicker crust.

Don’t overcrowd the pan : if frying, cook in small batches so the chicken crisps up instead of steaming.

Season every layer : add a little salt and spice to flour, eggs, and breadcrumbs for flavor packed chicken.

Check doneness : chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F “74°C”.
