Do you have to dip the chicken in egg before coating it with the breadcrumbs?

No, this recipe does not require you to dip the chicken breasts into an egg before coating them with the breadcrumbs.

Can I use other cuts of chicken?

Yes, thighs, bone-in chicken breasts, and chicken quarters all work. You will need to adjust the cooking time. Just use a meat thermometer and cook til the chicken is 165 F. You could even try salmon.

Can I pan-fry the chicken instead of baking it?

For this recipe, the best thing to do is bake it. Baking allows the breadcrumbs to adhere. If you fry it, you'll most likely lose some of the breading when you flip it.

Can I Airfry this Parmesan Chicken?

Yes! This recipe is perfect for the air fryer! Airfry at 375F for 16-19 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check that it’s cooked to 165 F.
