Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken boneless *see Notes
- ½ Teaspoon salt
- 2 Tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 2 cups panko crumbs
- 3 cups oil
Instructions
- Place chicken on a clean surface and pat dry all sides with a paper towel.
- Sprinkle salt all over, both sides.
- Prepare 2 trays. One with scrambled egg and the other with panko crumbs.
- Place chicken into a tray and sprinkle flour all over. Coat chicken well with flour both sides.
- Dip chicken in egg, so that it's properly covered with egg.
- Then place chicken into panko crumbs and coat well all over.
- Pour oil into a wok or deep fryer. Keep over high heat and wait for it to get hot, however, the oil shouldn't smoke. Test if oil is hot enough by dropping a panko crumb into the oil, if it catches on, your oil is ready.
- Place coated chicken into the hot oil and cook on all sides till golden. Turn in between so that both sides are cooked equally well.
- Take out the chicken when golden fried. Best is if you place it into a dripping tray.
- Cut chicken into strips and serve up.

Notes
- cut open 2 chicken thighs into 4 pieces or use 1 large chicken breast, butterfly that, and cut into two again.
- Use cut open 2 chicken thighs into 4 pieces or use 1 large chicken breast, butterfly that, and cut into two again.
- For the oil use vegetable oil or canola oil.
- I like to use baking dishes as trays to coat chicken. Or else buy trays or use deep plates.
