HOW TO MAKE IT :
-
Preheat oil to 375 degrees F.
Sauce :
-
Combine sauce ingredients in a small pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer about 15 minutes
Chicken :
-
In a bowl combine flour, Panko bread crumbs, and seasonings. Set aside. In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, 3 tablespoon water and 1 1/2 tablespoons oil.
-
Working with half of the flour mixture at a time (see note below) dip each piece of chicken in the egg mixture and then the flour. Dip it into the egg a second time and then the flour again to double coat it. Gently press the flour into the chicken. Shake off any excess. Place on a wire rack and continue until all chicken is coated.
-
Fry chicken in small batches until crispy and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
-
Place cooked chicken in a large bowl, pour warm sauce over and toss well to coat.
-
Top with green onions if desired and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes :
When working with the flour mixture, I found working with just half at a time worked best. This kept the flour from getting clumped or wet.
