[email protected]This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was dry and tough, and the breading was soggy. I don't know what went wrong, but I will not be making this recipe again.

[email protected]I'm not a huge fan of fried chicken, but this recipe was pretty good. The chicken was moist and flavorful, and the breading was crispy. I would definitely make it again.

[email protected]Great recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and it still turned out crispy and flavorful. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans and it was a perfect meal.

[email protected]Meh, it was okay. I found the chicken to be a bit dry. Maybe I overcooked it? I'll try it again with a lower temperature and see if that makes a difference.
