Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients ahead of time. If using flour to dry the chicken, pour it in a shallow dish or bag. Have another bowl for your "glue" mixture (whisked eggs, heavy cream, mustard, or your preferred choice). Finally, have a shallow dish of your breading (breadcrumbs, nuts, parmesan, cereal, etc.).
- Pat chicken dry. Eliminate all moisture on the surface of the chicken by air drying it on a baking rack in the fridge (1-24 hours), by tossing it in flour, or both.
- Dip chicken into your whisked eggs, cream, or whatever binder you chose. Gently shake off excess.
- Press chicken into your breading mixture of choice. Flip and cover both sides if you prefer.
