This recipe is fine, better than mine but not what I looking for.But thank you
This is going to be my go-to fried chicken recipe from now on. The double breading made a nice and crunchy coating the grandkids loved.
Sorry, this was the worst fried chicken recipe I have ever tried.
I make breaded chicken recipes all the time, with all different types of breading. It's normal for this process to be a little messy, but this recipe was way too messy, especially during the second breading. Dipping the chicken with mashed potato flakes back into the egg mixture seemed to wash most of the first layer off, and by the end, I had a bowl full of very thick, mushy egg wash. The finished product was definitely not worth all the effort.
This recipe was featured on Home and Family today. We love this recipe but (on the show) there was a dip that went with the chicken. Is there anyway I can get the dip recipe? Thanks for your help.
Quick, easy, tender and juicy. What's not to love?
A nice quick fried chicken! Outside was crispy & chicken stayed juicy!
We followed the recipe to a tee and were enthusiastic toward the outcome given the various seasonings that were joined with the potato flakes. However we found that the seasonings were not enough to overcome the blandness of the potato flakes. We make chicken schnitzel all the time and found this recipe to be quite "boring" by comparison.
