Ingredients
- 4 Chicken breast Boneless skinless chicken breasts about 100 grams/3.5oz each breast
- 6-8 tbsp Plain flour All-purpose flour
- 2 Egg whisked
- 100 gram Panko breadcrumbs Japanese breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp Salt or salt to taste
- 1 tsp Black pepper powder
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- Oil spray or cooking oil to brush/spray the chicken
Instructions
Prepare chicken and panko coating
- First, trim off excess fat from the chicken breast and flatten it by using a meat tenderiser or rolling pin. If the chicken breast is too big, you can butterfly it by using a sharp knife.
- Season the chicken with salt and ground black pepper to taste. Whisk two eggs in one bowl. In another bowl combine plain flour, cornstarch, and garlic powder. Place panko breadcrumbs in a separate bowl.
- First, dredge the chicken in the flour mix. Then dip in the whisked egg. Next, coat them with panko breadcrumbs by gently pressing them in your hands.
How to air fry?
- Preheat the air-fryer to 190°C for 2-3 minutes. Place the panko-breaded chicken breasts over the rack and leave enough space between each piece. Spray a generous amount of cooking oil.
- Fry for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is crispy. Flip the chicken halfway through and spay more oil.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for 3-4 minutes then cut it into medium slices.
Notes
- How to serve panko chicken? Serve with tonkatsu sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, sweet chilli sauce, hot chilli sauce, gravy, salad, fries, or Japanese curry sauce and rice.
- Air frying time can vary depending on the chicken breast size and the type of air fryer you use.
- Deep Frying Option: To deep fry the panko chicken, fill the frying pot or pan with neutral-flavoured oil. Heat the oil over medium-high heat and fry the coated chicken for 4-5 minutes or until crispy by flipping halfway through.
