Welcome back to the kitchen! Today, former Colombo family Capo Michael Franzese is cooking up an Italian-American classic: Chicken Parmesan. Michael breaks down his absolute must-follow rules for cooking the juiciest, crispiest chicken cutlets, including the "whole onion" sauce trick he learned from his pizza partner, and why you should never skip the flour when breading.
While cooking, Michael shares untold stories about his childhood, the deep regrets he holds about his grandparents from his time in prison, and a touching story about his Grandpa Rocky that taught him a valuable lesson about misjudging people. Finally, Michael plates up the dish, strictly enforces the "Al Dente" pasta rule, and does a live taste test pairing the meal with Franzese Wine's Areni, White, Cherry, and the special 50th Anniversary "Made Man" bottle.
This is the Mob's Guide to the perfect chicken parm.
