Cook's Notes
For more crunch, pulverize some bagged kettle potato chips and include them in the 1 cup of crumbs, or just add some Panko to the mix, or all three! Note: The crust may be more like crusty powder rather than a fried crust. To improve, make the crust layer oilier so it sticks together as a skin once cooked.
