@ howeavenue. There is definitely one and possibly 2 reasons why your fried chicken isn't crunchy like KFC. First and foremost is that I'm sure you don't own and use a pressure fryer such as they do. The other possible reason is that you fry the chicken immediately after coating. Try putting the coated chicken on a plate. cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for an hour before frying. BTW the idea of egg and honey mustard is a keeper. Tried it and it is excellent

Quick & easy and flavorful. I've made it twice now, and I prefer a more coarse pretzel coating vs. a finely chopped pretzel breading. I also dredged the chicken through both the egg bath and the pretzels twice, just to give it extra coating & flavor. The breasts came out juicy both times. I'll make it again for a quick meal.

This was just OK for me. My kids did not want to eat it again the next day. I like the idea for pretzels as a coating, but wasn't crazy about the maple flavoring. I can also never get my fried chicken crunchy like KFC's. No matter what I use as a coating, it always gets mushy under the chicken and especially the next day. Was thinking maybe pretzels with an egg/honey/mustard dip instead of the syrup might be better. In any case, not bad, not great.

This is so simple and so tasty. I soaked also soaked the chicken in the egg-syrup mixture to infuse the flavor. It's better baked. I've tried it both ways. Reminds me of the praline chicken we had when visiting New Orleans. The food is great there and I'd love to go back.

I used a combination of crushed pretzels, crushed tortilla chips and bread crumbs and it came out great. The chicken was nice and tender. Definitely a keeper!

I have made this twice in the last 6 weeks. Really delicious. Crunchy, but the chicken is tender. My family loves it.
