Why Panko is the Best Breading

Panko is a Japanese-style breadcrumb. It’s made of crustless bread that is processed in a way that the flakes don’t absorb as much oil as other breadcrumbs. This results in a crispier product overall when baked, air-fried or fried.

Tips and Tricks for Success

If you have time, remove lamb chops from the refrigerator about 30 minutes before coating and cooking them. This will help with even cooking.
If you’re having an issue with the breading not sticking, you can bread the chops and refrigerate them (on a baking sheet lined with a cooling rack) for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, which will help the breading stick.
