While most cooks default to breadcrumbs for fried and breaded foods, they’re not your only choice for a crunchy golden crust. Alternatives exist! You have breakfast staples like oatmeal, cornflakes, and other mild cereals. Snacks like potato or tortilla chips will also work, as long as they’re plainly flavored, though that hasn’t stopped others from using Doritos.
And Skyflakes? Absolutely. With their sturdy crumb and neutral flavor profile, the crackers fry up into a super-crunchy breading for fried cutlets. You'll benefit from leaving small Skyflakes shards intact, which creates a craggier bite. A dredge of flour and egg adheres the Skyflakes to our chicken cutlet like glue.
You can serve this Skyflakes-crusted chicken chop in different ways. We like the Taiwanese-style chicken chop direction and season ours with five spice powder. You can take the sawsawan direction with ketchup, sweet and sour sauce, or barbecue sauce. For something Japanese, pair with tangy tonkatsu Bull-Dog sauce.
