They also reminded me of their video series with cooking shows using their products. There is a very tempting video on panko coated sweet potato fries and onion rings that I may try soon. This time I made our baked chicken strips just like their video and also the way I usually do with Parmesan cheese, Italian herbs and garlic. These were served at lunch after a morning of barn chores and replacing one of the pasture fences. The menfolk were happy to find lunch ready when they walked in the door and the youngest took a break from her math book for some nourishment. They were also happy with their chicken strips served with duck sauce, barbeque sauce and honey mustard. The chicken strips were very crisp and crunchy. This is the best coating I’ve tried in my months of experimentation. They make a very light, crunchy, nice crisp coating that seals in the moistness of the chicken. While breading, they stick very well and thickly. It actually seems like there’s more to the coating than just a trip through a beaten egg and a roll in the Panko crumbs. There is enough in the package for three batches of chicken tenders(1 lb pack) to feed this crew if I use my Parmesan cheese mixture which is 2 parts crumbs to one part Parmesan.
The Kinnikinnick crumbs will definitely be a staple in my pantry for a crisp crunch without frying in oil. Since Kinnikinnick was so generous with the samples, a box of the Panko and the Graham Crumbs will be part of this week’s giveaway in my 30 Days to 50 series. Look for the rest of the giveaway info on Wednesday and please stop by with your comments to enter this week’s giveaway of Erin’s ebook and Bakery on Main Granola.
