Chicken Katsu (Video)
This crispy, homemade Chicken Katsu is unbelievably crispy on the outside and so juicy on the inside! I was inspired to make them from my recent trips to Hawaii and Japan where you can find chicken katsu everywhere!
Ingredients
Instructions
Pound chicken to 1/2" thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Mix together egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to form a wet batter. The consistency should be slightly looser than pancake batter.
Dredge chicken completely in the egg mixture and let any excess drip off. Transfer chicken into panko breadcrumbs and coat well, making sure there are no bald spots.
In a large heavy bottom pot, heat the oil over medium high heat to 350F. Fry at 350°F for 4-6 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°F. Set aside on a wire rack to cool. Serve with rice and mac salad and enjoy!
