  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel.
  • In one bowl, mix all-purpose flour with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs with milk, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • In a third bowl, combine Panko breadcrumbs with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Coat each chicken thigh in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
  • Dip each floured chicken in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. Keep one hand for dry and the other for wet to make the process less messy.
  • Dip the chicken in the breadcrumbs after the egg, pressing them on tightly all around. Repeat with the rest.
  • Let the breaded chicken sit for 10 minutes while heating up the oil for frying.
  • Once the oil reaches 350°F, fry the chicken in batches until golden brown on both sides.
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  • Chop and enjoy warm!
