The garlicky breading and drizzle of honey put it over the top.

Plus, it’s done in a jiff.

I tested this dish several times, like I was auditioning to be a Jamie Oliver crispy chicken franchisee.

How I Make Jamie Olivers Crispy Chicken

First up: breadcrumbs.

Jamie says these breadcrumbs have “attitude” which is great because we all need sassier chicken breading.

While you’re free to use any loaf you have, Jamie uses seeded whole wheat.

I used a sliced whole-grain sandwich loaf.

Next, you’re gonna go ham on your meat.

Flattening the chicken tenderizes it and lets it cook a lot faster.

At this point, I went off recipe and sprinkled my chicken with salt, which I recommend.

(You could also sprinkle it with salt at the end.)

(Pressing eliminates a messy dredge station set-up.

Nice, right?)
