Why Baked Rice Krispie Chicken Coating Turns Soggy

Moisture absorption from steam or undercooking during baking softens the crispy coating, undermining texture.

The Quick Fix Trick

Finish with high-heat broiling: This method crisps the coating by evaporating trapped moisture.

Step-by-Step Implementation

• After baking until cooked (internal temperature 165°F), remove chicken from oven.
• Preheat broiler to high for 3-5 minutes.
• Transfer chicken to a wire rack on a baking sheet to promote even heat exposure.
• Broil for 2-3 minutes, closely monitoring to avoid burning until golden and crisp.

Result: A consistently crunchy coating, reviving your dish's texture.
