3. Season the chicken pieces with garlic, sea salt, and pepper.
4. Beat the eggs and sriracha in a bowl and set aside.
5. In two separate bowls, add protein powder to one bowl and wheat panko crumbs to the other.
6. Cover the chicken pieces in the protein powder mix and then dip the piece in the egg mixture. Finally, lightly coat the chicken piece in wheat panko crumbs. Place the chicken pieces on a baking rack or baking sheet. Repeat until all of the chicken pieces have been covered.
