Ingredients
Breadcrumb
2 cups panko breadcrumbs (Note 1)
Oil spray
Batter
1.33 egg
1.33 tbsp mayonnaise
2 tbsp dijon mustard (or other mustard)
2.67 tbsp flour
0.67 tsp salt
Black pepper
Chicken
666.67 g/1.33 lb chicken tenderloins (or breast cut into 2/3" / 1.5cm thick slices, lengthwise)
Oil spray
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 200C/390F.
2. Spread panko on a baking tray, spray with oil (spray vertically to avoid blowing the panko off
the tray), then bake for 3 to 5 minutes until light golden. Transfer to bowl.
3. Place a rack on a baking tray (not critical but bakes more evenly).
4. Place the Batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined.
5. Add the chicken into the Batter and toss to coat.
Notes
1. Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs which are larger than standard breadcrumbs. Nowadays they
are available in all major supermarkets, usually in the Asian section, and cost just a fraction more
than ordinary breadcrumbs.
It is well worth using because the breadcrumb pieces are bigger so they create a far better
"crunch" than standard breadcrumbs.
2. HONEY MUSTARD SAUCE (pictured): Mix together 1/3 cup mayonnaise, 2 tbsp dijon mustard,
2 tbsp honey, 1 - 2 tsp lemon juice, salt and pepper.
RANCH SAUCE: Mix together 1/4 cup each mayonnaise (preferably whole egg) and sour cream, 2
tbsp milk, 1 tsp lemon juice or white vinegar, 1/4 tsp each dried parsley or dill, dried dill, dried
fresh chives (Note a), garlic powder, 1/8 tsp salt & black pepper
a) All the herbs can be substituted with fresh herbs, finely chopped. Double the quantity - i.e. use
1/2 tsp.
Don't worry if you don't have all the herbs. If you have at least 1, it will still taste similar to what it
should taste like, just use more of the herbs you have (3/4 tsp dried herbs in total).
3. MAKE AHEAD: Best way is to toast breadcrumbs, then put chicken in batter, leave up to 2 days.
Then crumb the chicken just before baking. It is ok crumbed up to 24 hours beforehand, store in
the fridge. Freezing raw doesn't work.
Reheating: Best way is to blast in the oven for literally 3 - 5 minutes at 200C/390F until it is just
warmed through inside.
