They don't, but the amounts called for were ridiculously high.

It's not that I won't do that. I didn't see the link. But even if I had,
it wouldn't have made the cheese and crumbs stick. As I have said several
times now, several of the reviewers had this same complaint.

And you dipped it in only milk? I'm glad that your family liked it. We
don't like Panko. And I don't normally even make breaded foods but I had
some Ritz that I wanted gone.

More lies! I have never gotten deathly ill from any food and I would never
ever dredge my hands through anything! Again, I have what is known as IgG
allergens or intolerances. Not IgE allergies which are the ones that could
be deathly. I guess you missed the part about using the tongs? I also have
plastic gloves that I will use if I have to touch meat. I don't like to
touch meat no matter what kind it is.

Jill, the deal with recipes like that is

1. the good ones are stolen from another web site (although that one
is so bad, I doubt it).

2. They are "Like Harvesting" (AKA: Like Farming) and people
perpetrate it by liking and sharing to their friends list.

If you don't know what that is, it's easily Googled... include the
word: Facebook with your "what is" queried. Basically it's money.
They are building up a page with a lot of likes so they can sell it
and the new owners can pretend they generated all those likes.

I do a panko and parmesan crust sometimes. I don't dip the chicken in
anything. The crust is not thick and that's exactly the way I want
it.

They don't, but (IMO) the amounts called for were ridiculously high.

I have no idea why people repost what they do. I think in the case of
something like that they think they are being helpful. I have people post a
lot of diabetic things to me which may or may not be true. I tend to only
repost things that I think are very beautiful, interesting, cute or funny.

Yes. I also realized after the fact that I had the Fresh stacks of
crackers. The recipe didn't specify which kind of sleeve.

I only tried it because I know the person who posted it is a very good cook.
So I assumed she must have made it. But apparently not. I saw another post
some time ago that I did repost here that had glaring errors in the recipe.
It was to make the little dog head shaped bun for hot dogs. The person who
posted that works in a bakery. Turns out that she posted it because it was
cute. And yes it was cute. But it was a very, very bad recipe.

Of course not. That Panka has such a strong, funky taste.

I make Heroin chicken occasionally. (It's called Heroin chicken
because it's highly addictive.) The chicken pieces are dipped in
melted butter first, then panko and parmesan.

Julie, coating first with flour...note the word "first"...isn't a substitute for anything, it is done
in order to make the rest of the coating, whatever it is, stick. And it is very basic cooking
knowledge, which you apparently were never told.

So you first lightly coat the meat (or whatever food you are coating) with flour, and then
follow with the egg, milk, or batter....let rest on a rack for about 20 minutes...then continue
With the recipe.

Yeah, I read the link to the actual recipe and it sounded pretty dull to
me. Also, I can't see how it could come out "crispy". I certainly
wouldn't want to make it once a week, not even if I adored boneless
skinless chicken breasts.

Butter is a great idea, thanks! Everything is better with butter.

The recipe is flawed right from the start. Anyone who knows how to cook
could figure out it won't be "crispy". Do you believe everything you read?

The coating won't stick? The chicken needs to be wet. That's what the
milk is for. (And no, it is not the milk's fault.) An egg wash would
be better.

You're afraid to touch chicken so how could you possibly press the
[ridiculous, even reduced amount] of cheddar cheese and then crumbs into
the chicken? Oh right, gloves.

Cheddar cheese melts. It doesn't get crisp unless you fry it. The
recipe was misnamed. Covering it with foil then uncovering it for the
last 10 minutes certainly won't make it come out crispy. This is all
basic cooking 101.

I don't need a lesson in harvesting recipes, sf. Foodbanter does
exactly that with posts to rfc. Notice how long the foodbanter posters
actually stick around when they find the link to rfc? Not long at all.
They have no clue they're using a web portal to Usenet. Oh but yes,
Usenet is dying!

Liking, sharing... whatever. I don't use FB. Tried it, didn't like it,

I dipped it in milk. Truthfully, I hadn't ever heard about the
dusting of flour before hand either. I prefer parmesan over cheddar
for most things. It has been a while since I made this. I had three
somewhat finicky teenagers and a husband who isn't finicky about food
at all, and we all liked this recipe.

If that were the case then it should have been mentioned in the recipe. As
