Skip the traditional breading routine and discover this brilliantly simple chicken recipe that delivers maximum crunch with minimal effort. Using crushed French-fried onions as a coating creates an irresistibly crispy exterior that's packed with savory onion flavor.

The technique is foolproof - just dip, press, and bake for restaurant-quality results at home. Perfect for busy families who want something special without the fuss of deep frying.

Gently tap chicken to let loose pieces fall away.
