Chicken Milanese

Chicken Milanese presents quite a few challenges especially for beginners. One major hurdle is the breading process. Many cooks don't realize the importance of patting the chicken dry before dredging it in flour. This helps the flour stick to the chicken, which allows the egg to stick, and finally the breadcrumbs. Without a good base, the crumbs end up falling off during cooking. Another common issue is frying the chicken at the wrong temperature. Too hot and the chicken burns before its cooked, too low and it takes too long and can come out greasy. Lastly, many people under season the breadcrumbs, leading to a bland outer crust. To get the most out of this dish, ensure you are using fresh ingredients. Using dried herbs or pre-made breadcrumbs can affect the dish's flavor. Also, tenderize your chicken for a more juicy interior and quick frying time. A smart tip is to add some grated Parmesan cheese to your breadcrumbs for a more flavorful and crispy coating. Don't be afraid to add your own touches. Experiment with different herbs, spices, and pairings. You can serve it with a lemon wedge, a simple salad or pasta. Remember the key to a good Chicken Milanese is to keep it simple, flavorful and crisp.
