Equipment
- 🥣 3 shallow dishes
- 🔪 Sharp knife
- 🔥 Large skillet
- 🧹 Paper towels
Ingredients
- For the chicken:
- 4 🐓 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
- 1 cup 🌽 all-purpose flour
- 2 🥚 eggs beaten
- 1 cup 🍞 panko breadcrumbs
- ½ tsp 🧂 salt
- ¼ tsp 🌶️ black pepper
- 🛢️ Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with the panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge the chicken in the flour, dip in the beaten eggs, and then coat thoroughly with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to help them adhere.
- In a large skillet, heat 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- When the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and fry for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the fried chicken katsu to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Serve the chicken katsu immediately, with tonkatsu sauce, Japanese mayo, or other desired dipping sauces on the side.
Notes
🌟 Pound the chicken thin for even cooking 🌟 Use a 3-step breading process for maximum crispiness 🌟 Fry in hot oil for a golden brown exterior 🌟 Serve with traditional Japanese dipping sauces Storage Tips: ❄️ Refrigerate: 3-4 days ❌ Freezing not recommended
