Notes

For extra crunch, double-coat the chicken by dipping it in egg and breadcrumbs twice. Adjust the spice level by modifying the amount of chili powder or omitting it. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers to maintain texture. Reheat the chicken in the oven for best results. Enjoy a quick and flavorful meal on busy weekdays!
