  1. Very good flavor. I would try double dipping next time, to make a thicker, crispier crust.
     
  2. DH just loved this! I thought it was really good. He loves fried chicken. You can really taste the marinated ingredients in this dish. Mine came out on the darker side. Maybe I cooked it on a higher temperature, I don't know but it sure came out juicy and crispy. Thanks for posting.
     
  3. I made this for dinner tonight. Last night my husband kept saying "What is the white stuff in that bag?" I don't know what to really say about it except that only at times could you really taste the marinade. I think that frying this kind of over powers the taste. I'm wondering if baking this would be more tasty. I might try this again but in the oven or by grilling it.
     
  4. Outstanding! Love this, really love this! I made this yesterday as instructed; sitting in the fridge overnight and turning occasionally. Perfect! This morning I quick fried these up and the taste was so yummy. I used chicken breast strips and they browned nicely. I packed several in Dennis' lunch with some blue cheese dressing. He has already tried them at work, called, and pronounced this a supreme success. Totally easy and yummy terrific! Thank you so much, Annacia!
