INGREDIENTS
- 4 chicken breast halves, smaller thinner, room temperature (if using 2 thick ones, cut in half lengthwise)
- ¾ cup gluten free panko breadcrumbs
- ¾ cup flour, gluten free flour blend or regular
- 2 large eggs lightly beaten
- salt and black pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
For Serving
- Mustard Sauce With Honey, to taste
- Lettuce and vegetables of choice
- Burger buns, gluten free if desired
- Vegetable oil for cooking
INSTRUCTIONS
- Honey Mustard Sauce (See notes). Make the sauce by combining all the ingredients in a mason jar. Close the lid and give it a good shake, keep it in the fridge while you prepare the burgers.
- Prep. Line up 3 bowls with flour, eggs, and panko mixed with paprika, garlic, and onion powder. Set aside.
- Prepare the chicken. Place the chicken breasts on a wooden board or even surface, cover them with plastic wrap, and pound them lightly until even on both sides. Remove the plastic and rub the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
- One by one coat the prepared chicken breasts in flour, then eggs, and finally panko. Make sure you thoroughly coat the chicken at each stage, especially the last one.
- Heat vegetable oil (about ⅓ cup for 2 chicken breasts) in a skillet over high heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully place the chicken in the pan not touching each other (you may need to do it in batches, cleaning the pan surface after each batch with a paper towel). Cook each chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on both sides until golden brown and crispy. Remove from the pan on a plate lined with paper towels to drain the excess oil.
- Burger assembly. Prepare your station with lettuce and sliced vegetables, and toast the buns last.
- Assemble the burgers with your favorite lettuce and vegetables, add the sauce on top of the chicken or both buns and enjoy.
NOTES
- Honey Mustard Sauce
- The nutrition is calculated without the mustard sauce.
- Make this panko chicken as much as you'll consume in one go. Just like most fried foods, this chicken does not reheat well and it is best to consume it right away. Also, these do not freeze well. The sauce will keep in the fridge for up to a week.
- Cook the chicken in batches, to allow the oil to be absorbed evenly and not too quickly which will result in soggy chicken breasts.
- Why is my fried chicken not crispy? There can be a few reasons why your fried chicken didn't turn crispy. The common thing is that the temperature is too low or not high enough, not enough oil is used.
- What is the secret to good fried chicken? For the best-fried chicken, I recommend marinating it before in any chicken marinade of choice or simply making a double batch of honey mustard sauce used in this recipe. Leave the chicken in a bowl and pour over the marinade until all the chicken pieces are fully submerged. Alternatively, a kitchen zip-lock bag will do the trick too. Marinated for at least one hour.
