How to add panko to chicken without frying the chicken?
I like to make chicken katsu and curry, but want to avoid eating fried food. Is there another healthier way to prepare the chicken, but that will still work with getting the panko breading to stick on the outside?
Best Answer
You could oven bake them.
You bread the chicken the same way you do when frying them but instead you put them on a baking sheet; cook and mid-way, gently flip them over.
It is a little bit like making Shake'n'Bake chicken.

Dip each piece of chicken into the flour, first one side and then the other, and shake it to remove the excess. Repeat with the eggwash. Last, lay the chicken on the panko and press it gently to get the panko to adhere, then turn it over and repeat. Make sure it is well covered.How do I get my breadcrumbs to stick to my chicken?

So how do the breadcrumbs stick to the chicken? I asked this too when I first heard about it but they actually stick really well without any flour or egg.

Sprinkle panko on top of baked dips, casseroles, egg bakes, or baked mac and cheese baking. Or toast the crumbs in a pan with a little oil or butter.
