Ingredients

  • 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs about 6 oz each
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 2 Brioche buns toasted
  • 1/2 cup Shredded cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons Yum Yum Sauce
  • Chopped cilantro, to taste
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • In a bowl, whisk the egg. In another bowl, mix the Panko crumbs, flour and salt together.
  • Dredge the chicken pieces in the egg, shaking off the excess. Then set the chicken in the Panko mixture and flip it a few times to thoroughly coat the outside.
  • Using a heavy and deep skillet or dutch oven, pour the cooking oil into the pan until there is a solid layer of oil in the bottom, about 1/8 inch high. The oil needs to be heated to and stay at 350 degrees F for the perfect fry.
  • When the oil reaches 350 degrees, add the chicken and cook on each side for 5 minutes or until the Panko looks golden brown. When the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F, remove the chicken to a wire rack. Season with salt.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, add sauce to the bottom bun, then add the chicken and top with cabbage, cilantro and more sauce, as desired.
