Tips and Notes:
- Cereal Choices: Use Cap’n Crunch (original is great!), but feel free to mix it up with other sweet cereals. Just remember, the crunchier, the better!
- Double the Crunch: Try a double coating method – dip the chicken in egg wash, coat it in cereal, then dip it in egg and coat again for an extra crunchy experience.
- Storage: Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the fridge. Reheat in the oven to keep that crunch alive instead of sticking it in the microwave!
