Mock Fried Chicken

I love eating  fried chicken. I don't love how unhealthy it is. I also dislike how when you fry it, your house smells like it for a week and the smell gets into your clothes and your hair.  I also hate dealing with the hot oil, it always ends up popping and burning me a little.  Plus I am never sure on how to dispose of the used oil. For these reasons I never make fried chicken.

I was very happy when I was able to discover a way to to enjoy the taste and crispiness for fried chicken without actually having to fry in on the stove.  I love making this with Panko bread crumbs but it can also be made with regular bread crumbs.  I used spicy mustard this time for extra flavoring, but that can be changed out depending on your mood. For a more Asian flare you can use soy sauce. If you are looking for an extra kick you can add hot sauce.
