Reading your essay in the quiet darkness of early morning, I cried. Your writing truly felt as if you were writing to me and the way I feel about my civic duty. While I know that I am part of this wonderful group of Contrarians, there are always those times that one feels, as you said, guilty if we have a day of happiness or a magic feeling and just forget, for a short time, about the woes of the world. Thank you and thank you for your comfort recipe of oven-fried panko crusted chicken.

Your essay will comfort my heart while the chicken will comfort my stomach.

That chicken looks delicious. It’s always great when it’s been in a marinade and the panko crust is light and savory!

The recipe looks great. I will try it, although I will need to omit the hot spices. A trick I learned from another recipe is to toast the panko at 400 F on a piece of parchment until golden for about 4 1/2 minutes (ovens vary), allow to cool, then mix with other coating ingredients. That gives the lovely light color and great taste.
