  • Use Butter or Mayonnaise: To achieve a golden brown crust on your chicken, brush it with melted butter or mayonnaise before baking. This will help the coating adhere and create a crispy exterior.
  • Control the Cooking Temperature: Cook the chicken at a moderate temperature (around 375°F) to prevent overcooking and drying out. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: When pan-frying the chicken, make sure not to crowd the pan. Overcrowding can result in uneven cooking and soggy chicken.
  • Assemble Carefully: When assembling the Reuben chicken sandwiches, layer the ingredients evenly and securely. This will prevent them from falling apart while eating.
