FAQs
Can I make this recipe with chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They will add a different flavor and remain juicy during cooking.
Can I bake the chicken instead of frying it first?
Yes, you can skip the frying step. Simply coat the chicken with the breadcrumb mixture and bake it directly, but it may not be as crispy.
How do I know when the chicken is cooked through?
You can use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. It should reach 165°F to be fully cooked. If you don’t have a thermometer, make sure the juices run clear when you cut into the chicken.
