Notes

For a gluten-free option, swap all-purpose flour with almond flour. Use Greek yogurt instead of milk for a creamier texture. To store leftovers, refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. Always let chicken cool before storing. Consider breading the chicken and storing it in the fridge for up to 24 hours if prepping ahead. Don't overcrowd the pan while frying to ensure even cooking and crispiness. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after frying to keep it juicy.
