Maybe it's the undeniable flavor. Either way, in this Crunchy Pan-Fried Chicken recipe, you'll see exactly what we mean.For a crispy, golden exterior, our proven pan-fried chicken uses a mixture of breadcrumbs and cornmeal. After a quick pan-fry, this mix works its magic to create a super crispy crust on the outside with moist, tender meat full of flavor on the inside. This coating combination also works well on pork chops and boned chicken thighs. So, home cooks who master this simple crust can get creative with other dinner dishes, too.With only five ingredients and 10 minutes of actual cooking time, this simple chicken recipe is perfect for hectic weeknights or family Sunday suppers, alike.
