Chicken thighs, orange and Dijon







Panko bread crumbs are a Japanese thing. Given their landmass Japanese are not particularily known for their wheat-related products which makes panko an inexplicable phenomenon. It's the best. It is seasoned here with salt and a significant amount of grated orange zest along with a small amount of cayenne.

The vinaigrette is like any other vinaigrette sweetened with honey except this is made with raspberry vinegar and sweetened with raspberry jam instead of honey. When it comes to amounts, I imagine the pile of lettuce and other vegetable elements then add the dressing elements in increments as if I was adding them to raw vegetables.

If you happen to see this variety lettuce at the grocer, buy it. It's fantastic.

The chicken thighs are dusted in seasoned flour, painted with Dijon and orange juice mixed 50/50, then dredged in seasoned Panko. Baked at 350℉ / 177 ℃ for 30 minutes, turned, 15 or 20 more minutes or however long it takes to finish satisfactorily.
