Tips & Substitutions
For a gluten-free version, substitute the flour with almond flour and the meal with cornmeal. Adjust the seasoning according to your taste; try adding paprika or cayenne for a spicy kick. Ensure the chicken is pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking. If using frozen chicken breasts, thaw them completely before coating and frying.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use skin-on chicken for this recipe?
Yes, skin-on chicken can be used, but adjust the cooking time as it may take longer to cook through. The skin will add extra flavor and crispiness, but ensure to monitor the heat to avoid burning.
What can I substitute for soy sauce?
If you're looking for a soy sauce substitute, consider using tamari for a gluten-free option or coconut aminos for a soy-free alternative. Both will provide a similar umami flavor without sacrificing taste.
How do I know when the chicken is fully cooked?
The chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Use a meat thermometer for accuracy. Alternatively, you can cut into the thickest part of the chicken; the juices should run clear, not pink.
