    I couldn't find any wheat germ and had to substitute wheat flour instead. Since no one else mentioned it, I'm guessing the flour is what made the mixture very sticky and difficult to apply to the chicken. I'm giving it a 3 because the stickiness made preparation difficult, but that was my own fault for trying to substitute! I enjoyed the taste.

    Very tasty chicken, the crust is VERY good, I made it like the recipe stated, but, made it only for 2 people,using skinless, boneless chicken breast. I made the full amount of the wheat germ mixture, If I were to make it for 6 chicken breast I would more than double the amount. I found that spreading the wheat germ mixture on the chicken worked good using the back of a teaspoon. Thank you for posting the recipe Michelle.

    Yummy and family friendly! I doubled the coating mixture by mistake, but would recommend doing so as it was just right. Used apricot jam and toasted wheat germ. Stayed very moist even though skin was removed before cooking and it had no added fat. Loved the other reviewer's idea of a quick fix using boneless skinless chicken, too. Thanks for sharing the recipe!
