    It's usually the air fryer for this style of chicken, but Melissa's stove top cook times etc were right on the money...crispy crust & juicy chicken. I would probably skip the cumin next time & play with other seasonings - parmesan in the crumbs, Dijon and/or garlic in the egg etc. I used my fresh herb salt for seasoning & this time we ate this with my home canned chili sauce. I also skipped the citrus dressing because our salad dressing was "plenty lemony".

    If there is any dish in this cookbook that takes me back to my childhood it has to be this dish. The chicken is crispy and crunchy. The meat is tender. I have never fried food before but the smell in the house and the sound of the chicken frying in oil bought me right back to the kitchen and home I grew up in. There just isn’t one thing that is bad about this crispy chicken. Then you get to top it with this fabulous chutney. It’s tart and sweet. The color of the chutney is such a bright ruby red - it is a happy color. This recipe is so easy. The chutney can be made in advance - even a day ahead. I did make the citrus dressing but in the end opted not to use it. I didn’t want to take a chance that my very crispy chicken would might become a soggy mess. Next time, I think I’ll serve the citrus dressing on the side and people can choose for themselves. I thought the dressing was fine - nothing terribly special. It is the rest of the dish that shines.
