Chicken parm can be a controversial food, as many locals have their own preferred versions of the dish.

When it comes to chicken parmesan, I only have one requirement: It must be crispy.

Fresh mozzarella or shredded? I don't care.

Red sauce or vodka? Give me either (heck, I even heard recently about a pizza place in Montville making it buffalo chicken-style, and I'd love to eat that).

From the seasoning on the meat to the acidity of the marinara — as long as the breadcrumbs on the cutlet aren't soggy, I'm a happy camper.

You guys, however, are a bit more particular; as chicken parm may be the most polarizing food in New Jersey after pizza and hot dogs
