FAQs

1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?

Yes! Boneless, skinless chicken thighs can be used. They are juicier and more forgiving but may require slightly longer cooking time.

2. Can I bake the chicken instead of pan-searing?

Absolutely. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

3. How do I make the crust extra crispy?

Ensure the chicken is patted dry before coating and the oil is hot enough before cooking. Avoid overcrowding the pan to maintain crispiness.

4. Can I prepare the chicken ahead of time?

Yes, you can coat the chicken and refrigerate it for up to 24 hours before cooking. Cook it fresh when ready to serve.

5. Are there any gluten-free alternatives?

You can substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour. Make sure any seasonings are also gluten-free.

6. What sides go best with Herb Crusted Chicken?

Traditional Texas Roadhouse sides like mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, seasoned rice, or a baked potato pair perfectly with the dish.
