Pro Tips for the Perfect Chicken Crust
🔥 Use Lean Chicken – Too much fat can make the crust soggy.
🔥 Press It Thin – The thinner the crust, the crispier it will be.
🔥 Let It Cool Before Topping – This keeps the crust firm when adding sauce.
🔥 Broil for Extra Crispiness – A final 1-2 minutes under the broiler gives it a golden edge.
