This is a great dish that everyone loved. Don't let the spicy scare you off, it's not too hot. I used probably 4 times the amount of flour/salt/pepper mixture to coat the chicken, which would be if your taste ran to a decently thick coating. The amount given would provide a lighter coat. My husband really loved it,too.
