Enjoy a delicious Japanese Chicken Katsu recipe made with chicken breast, panko breadcrumbs, and a savory tonkatsu sauce. This crispy fried chicken is easy to prepare and perfect for a Friday night dinner.
1: If the chicken breast is too large, slice to make two thin slices.
2: Place chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness (around ½-inch thick).
3: Keep breadcrumbs, maida, and beaten egg with water in separate plates.
4: Salt the chicken with salt and black pepper. Dredge in maida, shake off excess, coat in beaten egg, then coat in panko breadcrumbs.
5: Fry in hot oil until golden brown and crisp, turning halfway through (around 4-5 minutes).
6: For the sauce, combine all ingredients in a bowl.
7: Serve with rice or shredded cabbage salad.
