How Do You Get Breading To Stick To The Chicken?
When you follow our instructions on the recipe card below, don’t underestimate the power of those 3 separate dipping stations! If you find that your breading still won’t stick, you can try putting the breaded chicken cutlets in the fridge for about 30 minutes to chill. This helps the breading solidify a bit more.
Do You Dip Egg First Or Flour?
You should always dip your chicken cutlets in the flour first. It’s important to follow the flour, egg, and breadcrumbs order as each ingredient will stick to the next one if you do so. Flour sticks to the poultry, the egg sticks to the flour, and the breadcrumbs stick to the egg. Don’t switch things up!
