Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Chicken

  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg whisked
  • Neutral oil for frying (I like avocado oil)

For the Ginger Scallion Oil

  • 1/2 inch ginger minced
  • 4-5 scallions minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup hot neutral oil (I like avocado oil)
  • Salt to taste

For Assembling

  • 2 cups cooked rice

Instructions
 

  • Begin by seasoning your chicken cutlets on both sides.
  • Set up a dredging station by whisking an egg in one bowl then adding panko breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper in another.
  • Run your chicken through the eggs, then the panko mixture, pressing to adhere the breadcrumbs to the chicken.
  • Heat a skillet with oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once glistening, add in chicken and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Once cooked, remove from heat and place on a paper towel lined plate.
  • After the chicken has rested, cut into strips.
  • In a heat-proof bowl, combing scallions and ginger.
  • Heat neutral oil on stove and once hot, immediately pour over scallions and ginger.
  • Once it’s done bubbling, add in sesame oil and salt and mix well.
  • In a bowl, add rice followed by the crispy chicken. Top with scallion oil and enjoy!
