MAGIC CRISPY CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 450°F. Whisk egg yolk, 3 Tbsp. mayonnaise, 1 Tbsp. mustard, 1 1/2 tsp. Diamond Crystal or 3/4 tsp. Morton salt, and several cranks of black pepper in a large bowl until smooth. Pat chicken dry with paper towels. With your knife parallel to the cutting board, slice breast into 1/2"-thick cutlets (if you end up with smaller breasts, you may not need to slice them). Place in bowl and turn with tongs to evenly coat. Set aside.
• Heat oil in a medium skillet over medium. Add a pinch of panko. If tiny bubbles appear instantly, you're good to go. Add remaining panko and cook, stirring, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let panko cool in pan about 5 minutes.
• Set chicken next to panko and place a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet nearby. Using tongs, place a piece of chicken in panko and pat all over with panko, pressing firmly to adhere. Lightly shake off excess and place chicken on rack. Repeat with remaining chicken, spacing evenly apart on rack. Discard any remaining panko.
• Bake chicken until cooked through and breadcrumbs are deep golden brown, 10-15 minutes. Let cool slightly.
• Stir honey, cayenne, and remaining 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1/4 cup mustard in a small bowl; season with black pepper. Add chives to sauce.
• Serve chicken with sauce alongside for dipping.

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN CUTLETS

Steps:

• Using a mallet, gently beat the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness. (This prevents the chicken breasts from shrinking and promotes even cooking.).
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper in one bowl. Place the egg and water mixture into another. Put the Panko bread crumbs into a third bowl. Dredge chicken with seasoned flour and pass through egg mixture. Shake off excess egg. For an even crispier crust, dredge with flour again and pass through egg mixture one more time.
• Now completely cover chicken breasts with Panko crumbs, pressing crumbs down gently if needed.
• Heat oil in frying pan on medium-high heat. Cook for 4 minutes on each side (or until no longer pink inside) and serve.

PANKO-CRUSTED ROAST CHICKEN THIGHS WITH MUSTARD AND THYME

Steps:

• Place a rack in highest position in oven; preheat to 450°F. Place panko in a small bowl. Mash butter, mustard, and thyme leaves in another small bowl with a fork (it will be a little lumpy). Season chicken thighs on both sides with salt and pepper. Arrange skin side up a rimmed baking sheet and smear all over skin side of thighs. Working with 1 piece at a time, firmly press chicken, skin side down, into panko so crumbs adhere. Place back on baking sheet skin side up.
• Arrange carrots and thyme sprigs around chicken and drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and bake until carrots are tender and chicken is cooked though, 25-30 minutes.
• Heat broiler. Broil chicken and carrots just until panko is golden brown and carrots are tender and browned in spots, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a platter and pour pan juices over top.

PANKO CHICKEN THIGHS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.
• Place flour in a medium bowl. Crack both eggs into a similar bowl, add the water, and whisk with a fork until they take on a uniform consistency. Place panko bread crumbs in a third bowl, add adobo seasoning and rosemary, and mix. Set the bowls so the flour is on the left, the egg wash is in the center, and the bread crumbs are on the right.
• Dredge both sides of thighs in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in egg wash, turning over to coat both sides. Let excess drip off. Drop into bread crumbs, rolling to coat evenly. Place on the prepared baking sheet. The chicken should move from bowl to bowl in a line from left to right, with no jumps back left. Repeat with remaining chicken.
• Bake thighs in the preheated oven until no longer pink at the bone and the juices run clear, about 1 hour. An instant-read thermometer inserted near the bone should read 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
