This is a spicy crunchy crusted chicken that is so good it's sinful! The secret for the crunchy crust is definitely the Panko bread crumbs. I've tried it with other and it just doesn't have the same crunch. My husband and my two teenage boys LOVE this chicken! I never have left-overs when I make this!
