OK, I'm gonna pound some chicken breasts with my hammer and dredge it in some spiced Panko bread crumbs. But today, the gym dietician walked by (she's really cute). I asked her if I should use an egg wash to make the breading stick.

She said she coats the Chicken in Mayo, dredges it through the spiced up Panko and pops it in the oven at 400.

Any of you people heard of using Mayo? She also said that if I want to use eggs, to separate them and just use the whites for the egg wash.

Mayo works as a binder, and will make the crumbs hold onto the chicken quite well, it also works as a damned good hair conditioner(little know fact).

I don't see why Mayo wouldn't work...it's just eggs and oil. Pretty much the same thing. Plus, do what she said, that way you can tell her about it later.

Even if it sucks tell her thanks for the tip, it was "great!"

A dietitian recommending you dredge something in mayo?

Actually you coat it with Mayo and dredge it through the breading.
She's very pretty but not in great shape right now since she's pregnant (and to Rex's dismay her husband is a deer hunter).

I thought about using an old Beavis and Butthead line on her:

Me: Are you pregnant?
Her: Why yes I am.
Me: How did that happen?

I would have thought she would have recommended yogurt.

Damn, she did. But I don't have any yogurt. I've got some Hellman's Lite Mayo. She was surprised I had Panko.
I've always associated stuff like Mayo and Yogurt as not being heat friendly. Don't know why.

BTW if you are using panko it sounds like you are doing something similar to a tonkatsu

I would season with salt and pepper, coat in flour, move to an beaten egg bath next, then coat liberally with panko and pat it firm.

Then shallow fry or put it in the oven

This coating with mayo bullshite has got to go

Thanks, PM. I think I'll skip the Mayo and do beaten egg bath. But I'm gonna take her advice and just do egg whites. The yolks will go to my son:

Mayo is eggs and oil. You want to dredge in eggs and cook in oil. IT`S THE SAME THING,ONLY DIFFERENT!

Not cooking in oil. Baking at 400 in the oven. Oops, Lucy just woke up. Gotta go start the pasta. See you guys tomorrow.
