Tips for Crispy Success
- Use room temperature butter for easy coating and even browning.
- Crush crackers finely but not to powder — you want texture for that crispy bite.
- Don’t overcrowd the pan — space helps the chicken bake evenly and crisp up.
- Make it spicy: Add a pinch of cayenne or paprika to the coating mix.
Serving Suggestions
- Classic comfort: Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans.
- Low-carb style: Pair with roasted broccoli or a crisp garden salad.
- Kid-approved meal: Add mac and cheese and some fruit for a picky-eater-friendly dinner.
- Leftover magic: Use sliced chicken in wraps, sandwiches, or chopped into a salad the next day.
