"I bought some pork chops and told the butcher to make them lean. He said, 'Which way?'" -Tommy Cooper
The key to a good breading is to coat with flour first and then the egg. The flour helps the egg stick better and prepares the pork chop or chicken for the breadcrumbs. Use one hand - or tongs - to coat with the flour and then the egg, and the other hand to coat with the breadcrumbs. This keeps your hands from becoming clumped with breadcrumbs.
Like a lot of bread, most panko is higher in sodium so you will likely not need to use any added salt in your recipe.
Servings: 2 | Serving size: 4 ounces pork with breading
