Notes

  • Extra Crispy Chicken: For an extra crispy crust, heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan. Sear the chicken until crispy on both sides, about 4 minutes. Place into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F. Use a meat thermometer to measure the temperature before you remove the chicken from the oven.
  • Breadcrumbs: Feel free to use cornflakes for coating instead of Panko breadcrumbs. Homemade breadcrumbs may not result in perfect crisp texture.
