Crispy Heaven

Got it! Here’s a “Crispy Heaven” style recipe — think ultra-crunchy, golden, and delicious. I’ll make it general-purpose, so you can use it for chicken, tofu, or veggies. 🍗🥦

Ingredients

• 1 lb protein or veggie (chicken wings, chicken tenders, tofu, cauliflower, or potatoes)

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1/2 tsp garlic powder (optional)

• 2 eggs, beaten

• 1–2 cups panko breadcrumbs (for extra crunch)

• Cooking oil (vegetable, canola, or avocado)

Optional sauce: honey garlic, buffalo, or sweet chili

Instructions

1. Prep your protein/veggie: Pat dry with paper towels. Dry surface = crispier result.

2. Set up dredging stations:

   • Bowl 1: flour + salt + pepper + garlic powder

   • Bowl 2: beaten eggs

   • Bowl 3: panko breadcrumbs

3. Coat your pieces:

   1. Flour → shake off excess

   2. Egg → fully coat

   3. Panko → press lightly to stick

4. Cook until golden:

   • Air fryer: 375°F for 12–15 min, flip halfway

   • Oven: 425°F for 20–25 min, flip halfway

   • Pan-fry: Medium heat, 3–5 min per side until golden brown

5. Optional: Toss in your favorite sauce or serve plain for maximum crunch.

Tips for Ultimate Crispiness

• Use panko instead of regular breadcrumbs.

• Pat protein/veggies completely dry.

• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer/pan — it steams otherwise.

• For extra crunch, double-dip: flour → egg → panko → egg → panko.

If you want, I can make a “Crispy Heaven Chicken Wings” version that’s extra saucy and ultra-crunchy, like a restaurant-style treat. Want me to do that?
