How do you get the crust on the chicken to stick to the meat. A lot of times my crust falls off when I'm pan frying my chicken breasts.
what crust? if you mean the crumbs then do the following:
mix 1 egg and a small amount of milk in a bowl. dip the raw chicken in the mix, making sure you covered the entire thing place into a bowl of crumbs and cover the chicken with the crumbs around it press firmly on the chicken to stick the crumbs to it repeat if not entirely covered
this should be good enough. hope it works, it does for me.
Before you do anything with the chicken...
-- wash it.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean? However if youre not using eggs to get the bread crumbs to stick, that might be the problem... maybe try using fewer bread crumbs?
instead of using an egg you can also use sour cream (sounds odd I know) but it makes the chicken really moist and the breading sticks to it a lot better.
