    I love this dish because it has pecans. It turned out great. The reaso it got 4 stars is because it took longer to cook than 6 min. but it was still a hit in my house.

    I used chicken breast instead of chicken on the bone. It still came out great. My kids loved it!

    This is so easy and a great twist on Chicken.....you can do this with boneless/skinless chicken breasts and thighs too. The chicken comes out very moisty and very tasty!!

    I had to modify this recipe a little since my father couldn't find the thyme or cayenne powder in our local oriental store. He also managed to get the wrong nuts (he got cashews, so I don't know how dramatically that changed the recipe.

    However, following all the directions, it was an overall good recipe. I think it was inaccurate, because I needed more than 6 minutes each side to fully cook the chicken (the first batch had a lot of red in it I also cut a lot of the salt that the recipe called for, and it still turned out pretty good (used one tblsp. of salt instead of two.

    Instead of using actual chicken pieces, I used chicken breast and cut it into strips. It worked ok, but the chicken was dry. If I were to make this recipe again, I would use actual chicken pieces. However I did like the nutty taste of the crust. But my family was looking for something to dip the chicken into or a sauce to spread over it.

    Wow thats all I can say... The chicken
    turned out great... But I must say that I added hot sauce to the egg wash for extra flavor.....

    First time I made this I followed the directions and it got a lukewarm response. Second time I only used a little flour, just enough to hold the pecans together, and added a little cajun seasoning. It was a great hit. Very crunchy, delicious "crust", chicken was unbelievably tender. I used an old salad shooter with the shredder attachment to grind the pecans.
