Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Season chicken with salt and pepper.
Set up a dredging station: mix flour and garlic powder in one bowl, panko in another. (Optional: add a third bowl with beaten eggs for egg wash.)
Coat chicken in flour, dip in egg wash (if using), and coat with panko.
Place on the baking sheet and bake for 25–30 minutes until crispy and golden.
While baking, mix mayonnaise, minced garlic, and lemon juice for the garlic mayo.
Once cooked and slightly cooled, assemble sandwiches with buns, garlic mayo, and your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use thighs for a juicier option.
Toast buns for extra texture.
Add hot sauce to garlic mayo for a spicy version.
