Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- Oil for frying (about ½ inch deep)
- ¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, another with beaten eggs, and a third with panko breadcrumbs.
- Lightly coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring full coverage.
- Press the egg-coated chicken into the panko breadcrumbs until well-coated.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add enough oil to cover the bottom generously. Once shimmering, carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil.
- Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, whisk together soy sauce and honey in a small bowl to create your finishing sauce.
- Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled with sauce.
