5. Add the chicken pieces into egg mixture and ensure to coat well.
6. Place each chicken piece into bread crumb mix and coat well, ensuring all of the chicken is covered. (If you want more crunch, you can do a double coat! After coating the chicken once, place back in the egg mixture and then again in the breadcrumb!)
7. Place chicken on a lined baking tray and drizzle olive oil over the top.
