Boneless, skinless chicken thighs get an upgrade thanks to a crisp panko coating and a flavorful savory-sweet sauce using Korean ingredients. The key when dredging chicken in a wet mixture and a dry mixture is to designate one hand for each task. For example, use your right hand as your wet hand to dip the chicken in the egg mixture, and then transfer it to the panko mixture. Then, use your left hand as your dry hand to press the panko into the chicken. This will help prevent each of the mixtures from mixing together, which can quickly create a mess!
