    Thanks! Just did the wet batter fail, and this is just what I was looking for. The other options, other than your best for tenders, were also something to keep in mind possibly for other use models.

    I might try this experiment but with freezing the tenders once they have been crumbed with panko. That way the crumb has more time to brown without the chicken drying out when cooking

    I cooked salmon for first time and it was awesome! Coated my hands with olive oil and held the filet to coat with a little oil and then the Panko. The salmon was crispy on the outside and soft and flaky inside.

    I love your recipes…thank you! I put some buttermilk in my egg after soaking the chicken.. and season my flour and panko….paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper. I cook at 390..flipping and spraying after 8 min. The breading stays on 100%…thick and crunchy…and this is better than any deep fried chicken we've ever had.

    I don't like using panko because it is so bland. I make my own crumb mixture by grinding up equal parts Ceasar croutins and crunchy Cheetoes in my food processor. These are crunchy and delicious. They are great sprinkled on veggies, soups, casseroles, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, baked fish–the possibilities are endless. They stay nice and crunchy even when sprinkled on a moist casserole or gratin. And they make a dynamite crunchy coating in a 3-step breading process. They also store well in a tightly sealed glass container.

    Just a minor "well, actually…" Panko are not made from bread at all, they are manufactured directly from dough to crumbs, "baked" by being passed through an electrified wire mesh.
