Ingredients
Steps
- Preheat oven to 200°C/390°F (180° fan-forced).
- 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 a bowl.
- Place a rack on a baking tray (not critical but bakes more evenly).
- Place the batter ingredients in a bowl and whisk with a fork until combined. Add the chicken into the batter and toss to coat.
- Pick up chicken with tongs and place it into the panko bowl.
- Sprinkle surface with breadcrumbs, then press down to adhere. Transfer onto baking tray. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Spray lightly with oil, sprinkle with a touch of salt (optional). Bake 15 minutes (medium) or up to 20 minutes if gigantic. Any longer = dried out chicken.
- Remove from oven and serve immediately, with sauce of choice (Honey Mustard pictured) and sprinkled with fresh parsley, if desired.
