For a richer flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of garlic salt. If you don't have a deep-fryer, a large, heavy-bottomed pot will work just as well. Be sure to monitor the oil temperature closely. Feel free to adjust the amount of chipotle peppers to suit your spice preference. Start with less and add more to taste. Serve with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. The chicken can be prepared ahead of time up to the breading stage. Store the breaded chicken in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before frying.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large, heavy-bottomed saucepan to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Use a thermometer to ensure accurate temperature. (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
In a medium bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
In a blender or food processor, combine the mayonnaise, chipotle peppers, and adobo sauce. Puree until completely smooth and creamy. (3 minutes)
04
Step
5 mins
Place the chipotle mayonnaise mixture in a large resealable plastic bag. Add the chicken breasts, seal the bag, and massage the mayonnaise mixture into the chicken, ensuring each breast is evenly coated. (5 minutes)
05
Step
3 mins
Remove one chicken breast at a time from the bag, allowing excess mayonnaise to drip off. Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere. Shake off any excess crumbs. (3 minutes)
06
Step
1 mins
Carefully lower the breaded chicken breasts into the hot oil, one or two at a time to avoid overcrowding the pan. (1 minute)
07
Step
8 mins
Fry the chicken for about 6-8 minutes, or until the breading is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Use an instant-read thermometer to check for doneness. (8 minutes)

Step
2 mins
Remove the chicken from the oil and place it on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. (2 minutes)
