Tips for making the best Cheesy Parmesan Chicken Garlic Bread:
- When frying the chicken you don’t have to use peanut oil, you can also use canola oil, safflower oil or sunflower oil. Any of them will work.
- Make sure to get your oil nice and hot. You only want to have the chicken in the oil for 2-3 minutes to quickly cook and get crisp.
- When hollowing out the bread, cut the baguette in 3 pieces and then take a knife and gently cut around the inside to loosen the bread. Then take your fingers or a spoon and scrape out the inside so you can see all the way through it. You want it as hollow as possible without compromises the outside.
- Do you have to make the herb butter compound? No. You can melt plain butter and mix it with minced garlic to baste on top of the bread too. I just like the added flavors the fresh herbs give.

- 2 Tablespoons thyme
- 2 Tablespoons garlic

- In 3 different bowls place the cornmeal, eggs (beaten) and seasoned bread crumbs.
- Take a piece of chicken and coat both sides with cornmeal, then dip into the eggs wash, and then cover both sides in bread crumbs. Place in hot oil and fry 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Set aside on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Repeat with all pieces of chicken.

- Slice the 3 sections of bread into one inch pieces and assemble on a lightly greased piece of foil and place on a baking sheet.
- Baste the bread with the butter compound and cover completely with the foil. Place in the oven for 20 minutes, or until cheese has melted. Remove from oven and cover with more melted butter and serve with marinara sauce for dipping.
