CRISPY, CRUNCHY, LIGHT AS AIR.
OUR PANKO IS PERFECT FOR AIR FRYING…AND SO MUCH MORE!
Aren’t air fryers great? We love how they let you embrace the delicious taste and satisfying crunch of fried foods in a better-for-you way.
But do you know the simple secret to maximize the crunch-factor of air-fried foods? Kikkoman® Panko Bread Crumbs.
These are no ordinary bread crumbs. They’re made from specially baked, crustless bread with a light, airy texture. And they’re ground to create large, flaky, elongated crumbs, so they coat without “packing” like regular crumbs, giving you a light, crisp coating every time.
A PANKO FOR EVERY PURPOSE
Our line of popular Panko products offer options for everyone, including Original, Whole Wheat, Gluten-Free, Coconut-Seasoned and Sriracha-Seasoned.
Whichever you choose, you’ll find that they’re the ultimate crumb for creating sensational air-fried foods that deliver the craveable crunch, color and flavor of deep frying with nothing more than a light spray of cooking oil.
No air fryer? No worries! That same great Panko texture and taste shines through in all kinds of oven-baked or fried foods, too. Here are a few of our favorite Panko recipes to get you started. Let the crunching commence!
Air Fryer Butternut Squash
These butternut squash fritters have all the appeal of onion rings without the fat and fuss. They’re dredged in flour, dipped in egg, and then coated with Panko that’s been seasoned with smoked paprika and cinnamon for a crunchy coating that complements the sweetness of the squash. An easy maple aioli is the perfect pairing for dipping.

Air Fryer Crispy Ranch Chicken
These crispy chicken cutlets evoke the flavor of ranch dressing thanks to a quick buttermilk marinade and a blend of dried seasonings you mix with the Panko. The buttermilk helps the coating adhere and also tenderizes the chicken, keeping it juicy and succulent while the coating crisps in the air fryer.
