Did you mean to say 1 pound of chicken? There's no way one CUP of chicken needs that much batter or panko.
ReplyDeleteOh! Thanks for pointing out.Its a typo its 1.5 Cups of Chicken.I have corrected it.
DeleteI found this recipe on Pinterest, and made it tonight for my SO for Father's Day dinner, with some ginger noodles on the side. He absolutely loved it and said it was one of the best meals he's ever had. I don't even really like chicken, but this was delicious. Our 6 year old also loved it, but it was too spicy for our 4 year old, so she just ate the chicken without the sauce. Thanks for sharing the recipe, I'll definitely be checking out your other ones!
