My thin and crispy fried chicken recipe is not only delicious, but it's incredibly simple and I can explain the process in under 3 minutes. Using egg whites instead of milk for the wash yields a thin, crispy crust that doesn't get soggy and the addition of panko breadcrumbs in the breading gives it texture.
This video is part of a collaboration with fellow YouTuber Adam Ragusea. We're competing against each other for bragging rights on who's fried chicken will reign supreme. Once you've watched my video, head over to Adam's channel and take a look at his recipe.
