Crispy is good; we all love the feeling of our teeth sinking into some good crunchy crunch. It's satisfying, and often it just augments the entire eating experience. The contrast with tender chicken and crispy onions is one of the best ones, the onions not only adding their crunch, but their flavor. Crispy is good, our crispy onion-crusted chicken is better.

If using pork chops, follow same instructions as chicken in Step 4, cooking until browned on one side, 2-3 minutes, flipping, adding topping, then roasting until pork reaches minimum internal temperature, 6-8 minutes.
