I like to make use of pie plates or cake pans as a result of they’re good and broad, making it tremendous simple to coat the hen. You’ll want three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for the egg combination, and one for the breadcrumb combination.
Dredging Ideas

Coat Evenly: Ensure that each bit of hen is evenly coated at every stage. Shake off any extra flour and let extra egg drip off earlier than shifting to the breadcrumbs.
Press the Breadcrumbs: Gently press the breadcrumbs onto the hen to make sure they stick effectively and create a pleasant, even coating.
