Chicken Francese

Chicken Francese, a dish adored for its tantalising blend of textures and flavours, is surprisingly simple to make at home but there are few common queries and issues home chefs might have. People often struggle with the frying process, with the egg and flour mixture sticking to the pan instead of remaining on the chicken. The key to preventing this is ensuring your pan is hot before you add the chicken and using a non-stick pan. Another common issue is the chicken remaining raw from inside, which signals the heat is too high causing the chicken to brown quickly from outside but remain raw inside. The solution here is to adjust the heat and batch-process the chicken pieces not to overcrowd the pan. To make the most out of this dish, the quality of ingredients particularly chicken and fresh lemons significantly determines the result. A well-done chicken Francese should have a clean, crisp exterior and juicy interior with a tangy taste of lemon. A secret to boosting its taste is to add wine to the sauce!
