Notes
- You can mix some spices into your breadcrumbs like chili powder, jerk spice, etc. Get creative with your coating!
- Get yourself an instant-read thermometer. Trust me, it will change the game!
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat so the chicken stays crispy, bake at 400°F for 5 minutes or until heated through. Keep a close eye on them to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- You can freeze this ranch chicken either before or after baking. Place them on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, cover with plastic wrap, freeze for 1-2 hours, then transfer them to a large freezer bag or airtight container. This will prevent them from freezing into a block together. Freeze for up to 3 months!
