Any spicy panko recipes?

[fastrpms]

I've fallen in love with Panko and have experimented a little with spicing it up with little success. Does anyone have any good spicy panko recipes here? I love my fried fish spicy.

i normally add some hot sauce in my egg wash and that give sit a little kick, but definitely not spicy. im sure there is a cajun fry seasoning out there that has what your looking for

I really like the Shore Lunch Cajun fish fry but I want to mix that type of spice with Panko. I guess I could always try making those two mixed together and see how it turns out.

2 step operation.  Pat fillets dry and shake in shore lunch to coat.  Then dip in beaten egg with a splash of milk and then roll in Panko.  You are building up the layers with the spicy bits inside and the crunchy bits outside.

Good advice........

Or..............for a less bulky breading, use a seasoned flour dust first (cayenne, paprika, salt and some lemon pepper). This step helps the egg wash stick better, with the egg and flour combining to make a sort of paste that really helps the panko stick and gets nice and crispy in the end.

bmxrider is also correct that additional heat can be added via some sauce in the egg wash. If you go there I'd leave out the milk and sub in some hot sauce.

I do a similar thing to make "boneless" wings............

man my mouth is watering now! that first bath it gets in the spiced flour, then egg wash, then panko is a good idea. i think ill try that on my last bag of ling cod i have left from the summer.  happy and sad at the same time, because ice is no where in sight for me to replenish my fish supply!

Yup. I add coarse cracked black pepper, and smoked chipotle powder to the mix, shake well. if that doesn't do it for ya, put in a tsp red cayenne powder.

I used the Uncle Bucks beer batter from Bass Pro, dipped the perch filets in that and then roled them in a mixture of panko, cayenne, salt, onion powder and paprika  and then into the hot oil....no leftovers !

As soon as it comes out of the hot oil... and I mean NOW, sprinkle with cayenne pepper powder or other form of gastric destructive substance.

Just wanted to give some feedback on the recipe ideas.

I tried several methods. First I tried just Cajun shore lunch, then egg/milk dip, followed by Panko. -This only had a slight hint of spice.

I then used the same method but added Sriracha to the egg/milk mix. -This didn't add much more heat but I did notice that the egg mixture didn't want to hold the Panko on as good.

I then added and healthy amount of Chipole and Cayenne pepper to the Panko. -This was pretty good. You could tell there was a good amount of spice but I still felt it was missing something.

The final method I tried I put Blair's Death Sauce in the egg mixture with the Chipole and Cayenne pepper to the Panko. I thought I might over power the flavor of the fish but it ended up working out perfect for my liking.

Thanks for the ideas!

Yep, any residue oils will catch and seal any added flavors to the drying crust. I like Canjun or Creole, but more often than not its the go to standard that everyone loves. Salt and Pepper

We put crushed red pepper in our panko.... along with some garlic powder. It is money!

[blufloyd]

I got way too much panko so been using it in meatloaf not a fan of it on fish.

[huntaholic]

Kept reading about this panko stuff so I gave it a try tonight. Easily the best fried fish I've ever made. Rolled it in louisiana seasoned breading, dipped in egg wash, panko, then a healthy ammount of creole seasoning when they came out. GOOD STUFF

I haven't used this for fish but not sure why it wouldn't work. 

I dehydrate jalapenos from my garden every year.  I've actually dehydrated leftover nacho jalapenos as well.  When I want to spice up a recipe whether it's for jerky, or sausage, or whatever I throw some of the dehydrated peppers in the blender and pulverize them into a powder and add it to whatever I'm making.  Might be worth a shot to try it and add it right to the panko.

Read somewhere of using crushed Andy Capp's Hot Fries as a coating base YUM
