I love these. I needed plain panko bread crumbs for a chicken recipe and these were all that they had. They were great. I make fat chicken strips, dip them in egg, then bread them with these and pan fry them. I make a dipping sauce of mayo and honey for them. My husband and stepson love them. In fact, my stepson requested that I make them for his birthday dinner.
I have had a hard time finding them in my supermarket all the time, so I ordered a case from Amazon. I even gave a couple of boxes to friends so they can see how great these are.

Over time, I have used regular Progresso Italian bread crumbs when a recipe calls for bread crumbs. I had always been happy with that product, but when I saw the Panko bread crumbs on the shelf at our local grocery store, I had to give that a try!

I am quite glad that I carried out the experiment. There is a different and distinct texture. The end result (for example, in a topping for macaroni and cheese) is wonderful. The box containing the bread crumbs notes that Panko crumbs are from the softer heart of bread, as opposed to regular bread crumbs that contain crust. Quoting the box: "The larger, flaky crumb has a texture that is great as a coating for baking and frying or as a topping on various dishes."

I have now used these bread crumbs on Macaroni and Cheese, on chicken and pork dishes that I have fried or sauteed. It adds a nice taste dimension to the dish. So, I'm sold! I'll keep purchasing Panko bread crumbs in the future.
