Good to know
Chicken thighs are recommended for succulence, but chicken breast can also be used. When coating the chicken, use one hand for the wet mixture and the other for the dry mixture to minimize crumbs sticking. Steamed corn on the cob can be cut into 2cm (3/4in) rounds for easier handling by little fingers.
