Pat chicken dry and toss with orange juice, zest, salt, and pepper. Let sit 5 minutes while you set up your breading.

Set out flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in a second, and panko mixed with garlic powder in a third.

Dredge each piece in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko for a solid coating.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium. Fry in batches 2–3 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Drain on paper towels; serve warm with ketchup or ranch.
