FAQ – Golden Herb-Crusted Chicken

Question: What’s the best way to ensure the chicken stays juicy?

Answer: Make sure to not overcook the chicken. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness – 165°F is your magic number. Brining the chicken for a couple of hours beforehand also helps lock in moisture.

Question: Can I use other herbs for the crust?

Answer: Absolutely! Feel free to swap in your favorites like rosemary, thyme, or even some crushed red pepper for a kick. Just keep the ratios similar so the texture stays on point.

Question: What if I want to make this in an air fryer?

Answer: No problem! Just preheat your air fryer to 375°F, place your crusted chicken in a single layer, and cook for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
