Tips
- Brine the chicken for at least 15 minutes in salted, lukewarm water, then rinse and dry. Alternatively, buy pre-brined chicken.
- For juiciest chicken, cook at a lower temperature for a longer time, or a higher temperature for less time. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking before cutting to retain juices.
- For extra crunchy breading, add cornflakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Using Italian blend cheese instead of Parmesan will alter the taste and texture due to differences in moisture content and hardness
