We tried this last night, substantially cutting down size as there are just two of us and weren’t sure we’d like it. It looked easy, though and the pictures were attractive- I think it’s important for you to know that since you probably work hard on that too ( “presentation is everything” and all that 😉). Couldn’t do our usual recipe because I was out of dried Parmesan and felt this was worth a try because, well, almond flour, for one. We did the stove top method, but actually double dipped the strips which we were placing on a thin rack as we did them- so no excess or mess when they went into the cast iron skillet. The parchment paper dredging idea was a simple one, surprisingly not messy and I used the large bladed knife I had cut up the chicken ( after washing it, of course!) to pull the flour up and over initially before hands. I feel this was efficient and will do again. I seasoned simply, using only sea salt, black pepper and some paprika (mostly for a richer color in the final product). They were good!
