Breaded chicken using French's Onions?

Question

Anyone here ever use French's Onions (instead of breadcrumbs) to make breaded chicken? I have a recipe and was wondering if it's worth making.

Answer 1

You probably want to mix the onions with bread crumbs. The straight onions will probably burn too easily due to the high sugar content.

Answer 2

def, sounds good, I also know of a place that uses potato chips.  Hope it works out!

Answer 3

sounds good. never tried though

ever try dipping chicken into crushed up captain crunch cereal?? its so good!

Answer 4

I have never tried it but I have seen the recipe and it sounds delicious.

Answer 5

Salutations,

It sounds like it would add a nice bit of flavor, but I am not sure it would provide the right amount of crust. You might want to add this to a breading, for additional flavor. Have you ever tried Panko? these are a style of bread crumbs from Japan. I think you'll love the texture, and the onions will perk it up a bit. Cheers

Answer 6

It sounds a little over-powering; here's another idea from Kraft.

Pre-heat oven to 400F.

Place 3 shallow dishes, with flour, beaten egg white, &

1 finely crumbled Post Shredded Wheat biscuit.

Dip  a boneless, skinless, chicken breast, in each in turn, both sides.

Place in shallow baking pan, bake 20 minutes until cooked (170F).

Sprinkle with shredded Mozzarella, bake 3-5 minutes until melted.

Serve with spaghetti & tomato sauce.

Answer 7

If "French's Onions" are a dried onion flake or powder I would be concern they could burn and give your chicken that burnt onion taste.

I would use it with breadcrumbs, or for a change, use stuffing mix.
