Method

  1. Halve chicken breasts horizontally so they are an even thickness.

    5 min · prep

  2. Mix flour with paprika, garlic powder and salt in one bowl, egg in another.

    4 min · prep

  3. Coat chicken flour, then egg, then panko — pressing hard so it grips.

    6 min · prep

  4. Fry in a shallow layer of oil, 4 minutes per side, until deep gold.

    9 min · fry

  5. Drain on a rack, not paper, so the underside stays crisp.

    2 min · rest

  6. Shred cabbage, dress with mayonnaise and salt.

    4 min · prep

  7. Toast the buns cut-side down in the pan, then build with slaw and tomato.

    4 min · fry

Serving suggestion

Hot sauce stirred into the mayonnaise takes this somewhere better.
