    Boil eggs for 6 mins, place in an ice bath for 15 mins, then peel. Set aside.

    On a meat-safe cutting board, cover chicken with plastic wrap, flatten using a meat mallet or heavy bottom pan (~½ inch thickness). Remove plastic wrap and season with kosher salt.

    In a shallow dish, whisk water, egg, and cornstarch. Place panko in a separate shallow dish. Prepare a sheet pan lined with a rack for the chicken after frying.

    Fill a large cast iron skillet or heavy bottomed pot with canola oil and heat to 350°F {always use an oil/candy thermometer to monitor temp}. Dip chicken into egg mixture until coated, then dip into panko and coat both sides. Fry in oil ~6 mins per side until golden brown. Transfer to rack to drain.
