Making Chicken Breading

CHICKEN:

Boneless chicken thighs or breasts work great with this dish. To ensure that the pieces cook at the same rate, choose skinless chicken that is around the same size.

BREADING

• The extra-crisp Panko bread crumbs give the breading some bite. Panko, a Japanese bread crumb, can be found online, in stores that sell Asian foods, or alongside the other breadcrumbs.
• Due to their flavor and compact size, seasoned bread crumbs are ideal for an even breading. For flavor, we add a few extra spices.
• The chicken can be coated with flour to help the crumbs adhere (simply roll in flour, shake off the excess, and then dip in egg).

Once they’re cooked, experiment with adding other spices like Cajun flavor, taco seasoning, or Buffalo sauce!
