Making The Snap, Crackle, Pop Crispy Chicken

There is a full, printable recipe card at the end of this post that you can easily follow, I just wanted to share a few tips to making this Snap, Crackle, Pop Crispy Chicken.

• Stay organized when breading chicken, I use these coating bowls that I got from Pampered Chef. Best $30 I ever spent.
• I add mayo to the egg mixture as the mayo is oil and egg and it gives the chicken a crispier coating and the oil helps the chicken get golden brown as it bakes.
• While your oven preheats, allow the butter to melt on the pan before adding your coated chicken to it.

Letting Your Snap, Crackle, Pop Crispy Chicken Rest

This isn’t a mandatory step, but it does help keep the chicken from drying out. Allow the chicken after you coat it to rest in the pan for about 20 minutes before baking it. It brings the chicken up to room temp which shortens cooking time and stops the chicken from drying out.
