Tips

• For extra crunch, double-coat: flour → egg → breadcrumbs → egg → breadcrumbs.
• Can also bake at 200°C / 400°F for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, for a healthier version.
• Add garlic powder, cayenne, or Parmesan to breadcrumbs for more flavor.

I can also give a crispy oven-baked version that’s just as crunchy but uses less oil. Do you want that?
