Crispy Pan-Fried Chicken. In this mission, weâll focus on two things: how to cook with a stainless steel pan so thereâs zero sticking (Itâs amazing and totally possible!), and how to control heat like a pro. Weâll practice by pan-frying chicken thighs. The result will be drool-worthy, juicy meat with golden-brown skin, ready in less than 15 minutes! Now, if you donât have a stainless steel pan, not to worry. This mission will also work with cast iron and non-stick skillets.
