Ingredients
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into bite-sized pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Yum Yum Sauce:
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons water (to thin the sauce, if needed)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into the beaten eggs, and coat with panko breadcrumbs.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the chicken pieces until golden brown and fully cooked (about 4-5 minutes per side). Drain on a paper towel.
- Make the Yum Yum Sauce: In a small bowl, mix all sauce ingredients until smooth. Adjust the consistency with water if needed.
- Serve: Drizzle the Yum Yum sauce over the crispy chicken or serve on the side for dipping. Enjoy with rice, noodles, or veggies!
Notes
- For extra crispiness, bake the coated chicken at 400°F (200°C) for 20-25 minutes instead of frying.
- You can air-fry the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- Adjust the spice level by adding a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
