s-panko that chicken!

here's how to panko crust some chicken real good:

*put some panko crumbs in a wide dish.
*add some or all of the following:
paprika
chili powder
garlic powder
*add some freshly grated parmesan
*squeeze some fresh lemon juice on top of that
*mix that all up

*using an egg wash (or just whites) or even water, dip the chicken in the liquid and then run it through the panko mixture, pressing the crumbs into the chicken.

*oh, this whole time the oven will be on 375 but you will have taken out the middle rack while it's pre-heating and wrap it in foil. lightly spray some cooking oil on the foil (that rhymes!) and lay the chicken pieces on it.

*when the chicken is laid out lightly spray the tops with cooking oil. put the rack in the middle position of the oven and cook for 10 minutes. flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes. remove chicken and let rest for a few minutes so the crumbs are nice and crunchy.

eat and enjoy! (really yummy with a simple green salad, btw.)
