PARMESAN & PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN



Parmesan & Panko Crusted Chicken image

This recipe was adapted from the recipe I found on the back of a Best Food Mayonaise jar. The mayonaise helps provide a moist piece of chicken and helps adhere the panko and cheese to the chicken. Feel free to add more/less of italian seasoning/garlic powder to taste. We are huge fans of garlic so I up the quantity used for our household.

1 tablespoon water
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or to taste

¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add tenders and fry until light brown, about 3 minutes per side.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs for the chicken poppers. Cut them into 1-inch pieces for a uniform size and even cooking.
  • To make the chicken poppers more flavorful, marinate them in a mixture of buttermilk, hot sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • For a crispy coating, use a combination of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken poppers to ensure they stick.
  • Use a deep fryer or a large saucepan filled with oil to fry the chicken poppers. Make sure the oil is hot enough (350°F) before adding the chicken poppers. Fry them in small batches to prevent overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Drain the chicken poppers on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve them hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.
