How do you get panko breadcrumbs to stick to chicken?

Will panko stick to chicken without egg?

So How Do The Breadcrumbs Stick To The Chicken? I asked this too when I first heard about it but they actually stick really well without any flour or egg. After you have bashed out your chicken to form thin cutlets simply press each side 2-3 times in the breadcrumbs until the cutlet is coated.

How do you get breading to stay on chicken?

First of all make sure the chicken pieces are dry, coat them with flour (I like to use Wondra instantized flour) or cornstarch and shake off any excess. Then dip them in beaten egg or buttermilk, or a combination of the two, and finally coat them with bread crumbs, panko, cornmeal, or cereal crumbs.

Why is my breading not sticking to chicken?

Be sure to shake off any excess flour on the chicken. Excess flour will create a coating that prevents the egg mixture from latching on to the chicken, which ultimately will prevent the breading from sticking properly. For crispy, flavorful chicken, make sure to remove any excess flour before proceeding.
