cultural
Q

What are the most common mistakes to avoid when making sheet‑pan chicken with Brussels sprouts?

A

Common errors include over‑cooking the chicken, not pounding it to an even thickness, overcrowding the pan which steams the sprouts, and failing to press the panko firmly, which can cause the coating to fall off.

technical

Why does this recipe use mayonnaise as a binder for the panko instead of an egg wash?

A

Mayonnaise adds both fat and moisture, creating a richer, golden crust while keeping the chicken juicy; an egg wash would give a lighter coating but could dry out the meat faster.
