How in the world did I modify this except to not make the sauce? And the
sauce if anything would just undo whatever crispy was there!

The recipe as given on Facebook did not give amounts. I used cheese and
even at that, I could not get that small amount that I did use to stick to
the chicken.

If someone is going to put a recipe on Facebook, they should either give the
entire recipe and instructions *or* give a link. Don't put up what looks
like a super easy recipe but that isn't entirely correct. But that's all a
moot point here because bottom line, the cheese and crumbs will not stick,
even if the recipe is followed to the letter. Reviewers made that clear.
