- Set up your breading station with three bowls: one with the flour mixture, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs.

Notes
For extra crispy chicken, double coat with flour and egg.
For a healthier option, air-fry or bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15 minutes.
If you prefer a spicy kick, add hot sauce or chili flakes to the dressing.
