Notes
You can broil for a few minutes to crisp up even more but watch very carefully not to burn the cheese.
I have found with making these you should shred the cheese on the smaller side of the cheese grater. The finer the grate is on the cheese the better it will adhere to the chicken.
Be sure to use the wire rack, it will prevent the chicken from sitting in its own juices. This prevents the coating from becoming soggy.
Storing and Reheating - Let them cool, place them in an airtight container, and refrigerate them for up to 3 days. Be aware that the coating loses its crispness. Reheat them in a 300-degree F oven for about 15 minutes.
