I love panko crumbs...I season them with paprika, a little cayenne and s & p, drown my chicken pieces in buttermilk and off you go! VERY crispy and tastes great :)

| Nancy, I consider myself to be an OK to decent cook, but have never mastered fried chicken for some reason. I did, however, find a low cal coating for baked chicken breasts that is pretty tasty. Just take shredded wheat, whiz in the food processer & add desired seasonings. I coat the meat in olive oil (buttermilk would be tastier probably) dredge in the mixture & bake. Pretty tasty |

I love my fried chicken dipped in milk and then rolled in bisquick (I bet budget mix would work great) that I have seasoned with salt, pepper and a little chili powder.
Another "fried" chicken I like is to use boneless skinless breast peices. ...dip each peice (I cut them in half) in ranch dressing..not the bottled kind, but the homemade version since the bottled kind is kind of oilier...and then roll in crused ritz cracker crumbs. REALLY yummy and decadent. But never any leftovers. Sometimes I cut the chicken into small peices for this and use as an appetizer if I need to bring one somewhere..good cold but better warm.

Nancy I made some the other night and my family just went crazy over it. I soaked 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts in 1/4 cup buttermilk then I had some seasoned croutons that I smashed up and added some creole seasoning and salt to that. Then I rolled the chicken in the bread crumbs. I sprayed a cookie sheet with non-stick spray then added 1 Tbsp of oil. Heated the oil for 3 minutes at 450 degrees. spread it around, add the chicken and bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes on one side and about 5 minutes on the other side.(until done) My recipe also recommended a cheese cracker (like cheese nips or goldfish) instead of the bread crumbs.

I second the Panko crumbs.

I stink at making anything with a batter until I met the Panko crumb. They are a little more $$ and you can't get a large amount but boy, they do work fabulous and are light. I soak my chicken in buttermilk too and I seasons the Panko with salt, pepper, sometimes a little garlic.I use Canola to fry or just do it baked in the oven. YUMMMY!!!
Cheers,
Heather
