Tinks Crunchy Panko Chicken Recipes

CRISPY PANKO CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Pound chicken breasts, one at a time in a resealable freezer bag, until about 1/2-inch thick. Lightly beat egg in a shallow bowl. Combine panko crumbs, salt, pepper, garlic powder and onion powder in a separate shallow bowl. Dip chicken breasts in egg until coated, drip off excess and dip in panko mixture. Press chicken into crumbs until fully coated.
• Heat oil in a large skillet on medium high heat. Transfer chicken to pan and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until chicken is brown, crispy and fully cooked.

• Trim fat from thighs, if needed, rinse and pat dry. Set aside.

• Coat each chicken thigh with a light to medium coat of the mayo mixture and then roll in Panko mixture.

PANKO CRUSTED CHICKEN LEGS

Steps:

• Rinse the chicken legs and pat dry with paper towels. In a shallow dish or plastic bag, combine the sake, 1/4 cup soy sauce, oil, ginger, garlic, and half the scallions. Add the chicken legs, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet with peanut oil. Place panko bread crumbs in a large plastic or paper bag, season with salt and pepper, and shake well to combine. Take 2 or 3 chicken legs at a time from the marinade and shake them in the seasoned bread crumbs until well coated. Place the breaded chicken legs on a baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, turn the pieces over, and bake for 15 minutes more or until cooked through. Remove chicken to a wire rack to cool.
• Make the sauce by whisking hoisin, chili sauce, vinegar, and remaining 1 teaspoon soy sauce together. Place chicken legs in a single layer on a platter, drizzle with sauce and scatter over the crushed peanuts and remaining scallions. Serve warm or at room temperature.

PANKO CHICKEN WITH CREAMY SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine chicken thighs and buttermilk in a bowl. Stir well. Cover and refrigerate for at least three hours. Overnight is okay, too. My chicken thighs were quite large, so I cut them in half to maximize the coverage of panko breadcrumbs (see note in Step 4).
• When ready to cook, pre-heat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Combine panko breadcrumbs, thyme, smoked paprika, lemon zest and salt in a bowl and stir well.
• Remove each thigh piece from marinade and dredge in the panko mixture. Transfer to a plate. Note: Panko breadcrumbs are larger and crispier than regular breadcrumbs. I love their taste and texture -- I cut the thighs in half so I can use more crumbs. If you leave the thighs whole, you will probably need only 1 cup of crumbs.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet/frying pan. Brown the thighs, on both sides - about 4-5 minutes per side. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to do this in more than one batch.
• Transfer partially-cooked thighs to a baking dish and pop in the pre-heated oven for 20 minutes.
• While the thighs are cooking, wipe out the skillet/frying pan you used for the chicken, so you can use it again. Hey, why wash pots and pans unnecessarily. And slice the onions and mushrooms, and chop the garlic and parsley.
• Melt the butter in the wiped-out skillet and add the last tablespoon of oil. Heat. Then add the sliced onions and cook for 2 minutes. Then add the sliced mushrooms and chopped garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until everything has softened.
• Stir in the cream and parsley. Heat through.
• When serving, spoon sauce over the chicken.
