Why does breading stick to the pan?
Chef's answer
If your food starts to stick, your pan probably wasn't hot enough or you didn't add enough fat. So first, try to turn up your heat a bit and add a splash of fat to see if it releases off naturally before you force it. Generally, bone-in, skin-on chicken should sear for about 10 minutes undisturbed.
