FAQ’s

How do you get breadcrumbs to stick to chicken?

To get your breadcrumbs to stick to the chicken, try chilling the breaded chicken in the fridge for an hour to help firm up the egg mixture. You can also coat the chicken breast in a thin layer of flour before dipping it in the egg mixture to help the breadcrumbs stick.

What goes with crumbed chicken?

There’s no shortage of things that go well with crumbed chicken, but you can’t go wrong with side salad. Perfect for lunch or dinner, crumbed chicken with a side salad is a great light meal. If you want a more hearty meal, try it with mashed potato, chips, bread, vegetables, or coleslaw.

How do you know when crumbed chicken is cooked?

When you’re cooking crumbed chicken and need to check whether it’s done, slice it in the thickest part with a knife. If it’s cooked the flesh should be white, and the juices clear. You can also use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken.
