• For the freshest flavor, we prefer to make our own bread crumbs with hearty white sandwich bread, but packaged bread crumbs will work just fine as long as they’re seasoned properly.
• If pan-frying, use medium to medium-high heat: the inside of your chicken will be cooked through while the outside will boast a crunchy brown crust.
