   Place panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish; season with salt, pepper, and half the blackening spice . Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season with salt, pepper, and remaining blackening spice, then brush evenly with remaining sour cream. Working in batches, coat chicken in panko mixture (pressing to adhere). Heat a ¼-inch layer of oil in a large pan over medium-high heat — a nonstick pan works well.

   Once oil is hot, add chicken to pan (working in batches as needed), reduce heat to medium, and cook until golden brown, ⏱️ 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and season with salt and pepper.
