Does the panko keep its crunch after the wonderful honey+ sauce is poured on? I’d love to be able to do sesame chicken, even though that’s not really a panko recipe.
That’s exactly why I use Panko, I will use crushed corn flakes for the same effect and different taste. Here is a bit of “ industry” advice: always make sure your oil is hot enough 350 min and 375 if using peanut or canola...
when you take chicken fish or what ever meat, you want to bridge / alternate proteins and starches while keeping moisture out and oil absorption to a min. The protein s/b lightly floured then you can egg wash then add your crunch to the outter area. The flour forms a barrier to moisture escaping the protein as it cooks and the egg binds to the flour and the breadcrumbs or corn flakes bind to the protein in the egg. All that results in moisture in protein and a crispy outside that won’t slide off. Then you can toss it in a sauce and retain crunch for a few minutes. For your sesame chicken I would replace the flour with corn starch and you should get a great result.
