Answers:
I suspect that you are trying to turn the chicken before its really ready!. The skin sticks to the bottom of the pan until its cooked thoroughly!. Try using more oil, a spatula as opposed to tongs and scoop from the bottom, and make sure that the breading is cooked before you turn the chicken!. The more chicken pieces you add to the skillet, the cooler the oil becomes, so only cook a few at a time to keep the temperature consistent!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
you can also try the three coat breading it gives a crunchier skin!. i agree with Jenny you are probably turning it to early
but try dipping in flour then an egg wash (beated eggs) then seasoned bread crumbsWww@FoodAQ@Com
