...CRUNCHY CRUMBS
•
One by one, roll the chicken
breasts or fish in the flour and
then pat off as much as you can,
leaving the finest layer
•
Roll in the egg, and finally place
in the bed of crumbs, rolling
lightly, patting and pressing, so
the pieces are well and evenly
coated
•
Heat the oil in frying pan, cook
and gently sizzle on both sides,
until they are cooked through,
then drain on crumpled paper
towel. The chicken breasts will
take 10-12 minutes
•
Fish requires about 8 minutes,
and is ready when it flakes cleanly
if prodded with a fork.
