Recipe video above. Known as Chicken Parmesan in the US, the three key things that makes this the best Parmi you'll ever have in your life are: layers upon layers on seasoning, dry brining for the most juicy chicken ever, and extra crispy chicken. Because I'll never understand why you'd go to the trouble of making crispy crumbed chicken if the whole thing goes soggy when smothered in tomato sauce!Bonus baked option in Note 10. So golden and crunchy it will blow your mind!
